                        Welcome to 
                   "Island of Dr Brain"

Thank you for purchasing this game.  We hope you have
as much fun playing it as we had creating it!

This file contains the absolutely latest and greatest
information about this version of the game.  Right now,
we know about the following "special situations":

1. ALL NEW!  After the logo displays at the beginning of
   the game, a new on-line menu will appear.  All last-
   minute updates are found under the heading "INFORMATION".

2. If you have any problems starting up the game, the information
   given at the end of this file should help you solve your problem.

3. If you have a ProAudio Spectrum and you are having music not
   play or skip in your game, try running from a bootable disk,
   which can be done with the install program.

4. If your computer is close to the minimum "free memory"
   to run this game, you may experience slowdowns in some
   areas or receive the error message "Out of Hunk".  If
   this occurs, try running the game from a boot disk .  
   (To check free memory, type "chkdsk" from DOS.  If the 
   "bytes free" number reported is less than 580,000, you 
   may need to use a boot disk.)

5. Sometimes INSTALL will report that you have the Disney DAC.
   If you don't have it, just don't choose it!

6. Sometimes INSTALL will report that you have a joystick when
   you don't have it.  Be sure that you don't have joystick
   selected if you don't have it.

7. If you have a Tandy 2500XL and experience problems while 
   installed for "Tandy with DAC", run the install program
   again and select "No Audio/Voice Card". 

8. When you install the game to a directory other than the 
   default directory of "BRAIN2", you will need to edit the
   BRAIN2.BAT file one directory up from your game directory.
   If you install the game to a directory called "ISLAND", 
   edit the batch file to say "CD ISLAND" rather than 
   "CD BRAIN2".

other of the Sierra family of fine software products, call us

BOOT DISK INSTRUCTIONS

Booting your computer system with a Boot Disk before you play your 
Sierra game will keep any TSR (Terminate-and-Stay-Resident) programs 
from being loaded into memory.

If your game already contains an option to create a bootdisk in the
Install procedure, you may want to try this option before manually 
creating a bootdisk.

    PLEASE NOTE:  THE FORMAT COMMAND MUST BE USED WITH CARE
    TO AVOID ERASING ALL STORED INFORMATION ON YOUR HARD DISK.
    PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW EXACTLY.


Formatting From A Hard Disk:
  1.  Insert a blank disk into Drive A:.
  2.  At the C: prompt, type:  FORMAT A:/S [ENTER].

    Note:  If your A: drive is a 3.5" high density drive, using a low
    density disk, type: FORMAT A:/S/T:80/N:9 [ENTER]

    Note:  If your A: drive is a 5.25" high density drive, using a low
    density disk, type: FORMAT A:/S/T:40/N:9 [ENTER].

  3.  Follow the DOS prompts.

Formatting From A Diskette Drive
     1.  Insert your original MS-DOS system disk in Drive A:.
     2.  At the A: prompt, type:  FORMAT A:/S [ENTER]
     3.  When prompted, insert a blank disk into Drive A: and follow the
      DOS prompts.


  FOR MS-DOS 5.0 USERS:

     Now you need to create a CONFIG.SYS file for your boot disk.


  CONFIG.SYS FOR 286 COMPUTERS WITH 1 MEG OR GREATER

     4.  Insert your formatted blank disk into Drive A:.
     5.  Type:  A: [ENTER]
     6.  Type:  COPY CON CONFIG.SYS [ENTER]
     7.  Type:  DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS [ENTER]
     8.  Type:  DOS=HIGH [ENTER]
     9.  Type:  FILES=30 [ENTER]
     10. Type:  BUFFERS=30 [ENTER]
     11. Type:  STACKS=0,0 [ENTER]
     12. Type:  BREAK=ON [ENTER]
     13. Press the [F6] key, then press [ENTER].  You should see the
         message:  1 Files(s) copied.


  CONFIG.SYS FOR 386  OR 486 COMPUTERS

     4.  Insert your formatted blank disk into Drive A:.
     5.  Type:  A: [ENTER]
     6.  Type:  COPY CON CONFIG.SYS [ENTER]
     7.  Type:  DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS [ENTER]
     8.  Type:  DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM [ENTER]
     9.  Type:  FILES=30 [ENTER]
     10. Type:  BUFFERS=30 [ENTER]
     11. Type:  STACKS=0,0 [ENTER]
     12. Type:  BREAK=ON [ENTER]
     13. Type:  DOS=HIGH,UMB [ENTER]
     14. Press the [F6] key, then press [ENTER].  You should see the
         message: . 1 Files(s) copied.
 

   Now you need to create an AUTOEXEC.BAT file for your boot disk.


AUTOEXEC.BAT

     1.  Type:  COPY CON AUTOEXEC.BAT [ENTER]
     2.  Type:  PROMPT $P$G [ENTER]
     3.  Type:  PATH=C:\DOS [ENTER]
     4.  Press the [F6] key, then press [ENTER].  You should see the
         message:  1 Files(s) copied.



  NOTE:  For versions of MS-DOS below 5.0, follow the instructions below.


  FOR MS-DOS VERSIONS BELOW 5.0

     Now you need to create a CONFIG.SYS file for your boot disk.

  CONFIG.SYS

     4.  Insert your formatted blank disk into Drive A:.
     5.  Type:  A: [ENTER]
     6.  Type:  COPY CON CONFIG.SYS [ENTER]

MS-DOS BELOW 4.00 OR 4.01, GO TO MOUSE DRIVERS, BELOW.

   NOTE:  If you are using DOS 4.0 or 4.01, and your hard disk partition 
   is greater than 32 megabytes, you may get a warning message which
   mentions SHARE.EXE.  You may ignore this message; SHARE.EXE is not
   required by Sierra products.

  AUTOEXEC.BAT

     1.  Type:  A: [ENTER].
     2.  Type:  COPY CON AUTOEXEC.BAT [ENTER].

         message:  1 File(s) copied.

If you will be using a mouse to play your Sierra game, you must copy 
your mouse driver onto your Boot Disk.  The following are examples 
of statements that are required to be added to either  the CONFIG.SYS
and AUTOEXEC.BAT for the automatic loading of the mouse driver.

THE CONFIG.SYS FILE   (If MOUSE.SYS was copied to the Boot Disk)

  If you're following the MS-DOS 5 boot disk instructions type:

     DEVICEHIGH=MOUSE.SYS

  If you're following the Boot Disk instructions for versions of DOS
  below 5.0 type:

     DEVICE=MOUSE.SYS

  THE AUTOEXEC.BAT FILE TYPE: (If MOUSE.COM was copied to the Boot Disk)

  If you're following the MS-DOS 5 boot disk instructions type:

     LH MOUSE

  If you're following the Boot Disk instructions for versions of DOS
  below 5.0 type:

     MOUSE

Refer to your mouse manual for further information on how to install
your mouse driver.  You may also call or fax Sierra Technical Support
Tel: (209) 683-8989  Fax: (209) 683-3633 for assistance.

IMPORTANT!!  After you have created a Boot Disk, you must REBOOT your
