[comp.sys.amiga] Red Sector demo...

amhartma@silver.ucs.indiana.edu (AmigaMan) (07/10/90)

Has anyone gotten this sucker to work?  I spent about 4 hours downloading
the 2 parts.  I unwarped them.  I get an immediate boot message when booting
the first disk "Red Sector mega demo disk 1" and then after a bit, speech
(albeit, pretty un-understandable) belches forth and then after a bit (about
10 - 15 secs) I get the boot message again.  The drive light stays on but
no access (I waited about 45-60 secs to be sure it wasn't un-crunching 
anything.).

The second disk, upon booting, does nothing but show a cheesy (neat for about
a second...) "fireworks" show.

Has anyone gotten this demo to work?  If so, is it really worth going through
the trouble to get again?

Thanks, 

AMH

Hi.  That demo is really unstable.  I've been able to get it to work,
but it only works occasionally.  It's very touchy.  It should work
perfectly if you can throw yourself into PAL mode though.
