Yes, it would be nice but I haven't seen any of their engines malfunctioning and
have yet to worry about that. I don't know if the conversion was that simple but
it could have been. The original Hiarcs 7 (DOS version) ran a 16-bit engine, and
the CB version is 32-bit so it's hard to say. It is definitely faster than the
Hiarcs 6 engine by quite a bit as I average 40k+ NPS with it on my K6-2/350 as
opposed to 25-30k for Hiarcs 6.
