We originally only had an Arcade 1 which I basically put together almost 40 years ago for my kids to use on our Premium 128 we had at the time. It came obvious for the needs of std 128k and CIAB and 56k Microbee users to be able to quickly boot and play the same games, hence the generations of the Arcade 1, 2 & 3 in different varieties for different 'bees.
I just tried the Penguin Book of Games didk and again its really setup for a premium bee, so if the basic is changed to the 128k version of basic 6.23e, I just tested it and it now boots fine on a CIAB, 128k and Prem 128k 'bee. So have updated the file in the repository with this version, so download again and let me know if you have any further issues.
I dont use the ciab_double_sided_master_ds80.dsk disk and would only suggest its use for CIAB 'bees that have had their drives updated to double sided. Since std 128k 'bees didnt come with 3.5" drives but I assume thats what you are running, I would suggest you use the Peter Broughton system and particularly ver 1.2 as you will find it on many of our disks. Its works on 5.25 & 3.5 disks as well as 64k 128k and Prem 128k bees. Then use SETSYS to change Startup Options to change to how you want it to boot.
