     ********************* TECHNICAL NOTES ********************

HARD DISK REQUIREMENTS

The floppy disk version of X-COM: Terror From the Deep requires
approx 15 Megabytes of Hard disk space. The CD-ROM version 
requires approx 4 Megabytes.

CD-ROM VERSION

X-COM: Terror From the Deep requires a CD-ROM with 280K/s 
throughput (double speed) to play the animations. If you have 
a slower CD-ROM drive then a slide show of the animations will 
play.

If at a later point you upgrade your CD-ROM to a faster drive 
then run CDSPEED.EXE from the main TFTD directory which will
re-test the CD-ROM speed.

SOUND

1. Gravis Ultrasound is supported in this version of 
   X-COM: Terror From the Deep. To play music on the Ultrasound
   you must have a full set of midi patches supplied with your
   card on your hard drive.

2. If you wish to change the sound configuration, after initial
   installation, run the setup program in your TFTD directory.


COMPRESSION SOFTWARE

- If you are using Stacker, DOS 6's Double/Drive Space, or some
  other hard drive compression utility, "X-COM: Terror From the
  Deep" will appear to use more than the amount of space the 
  Install utility checks for.  This is because the program 
  files are already compressed, and your compression utility 
  will not be able to get the usual space savings.
