I've been trying to get sentinel to work correctly on my A2500 harddrive. I have everything in the same directory. To get maximum memory I use Ctrl-D to stop the startup-sequence, mount the drive, cd to the right directory and run hd_3_megabyte_version. In the beginning, the handle of the door doesn't knock as I seem to remember seeing elsewhere. The door opens, you see inside and something appears. Then the helmet scene starts and then there is lots of flashing and noise. This is where the problem begins. After that, something appears next to the shield/helmet. After it does I got strange bands of color going horizontally across my monitor and the screen goes blank. When I switched (quite quickly) to the workbench I saw that the CLI window said "not an ANIM buffer". Any ideas?

I have 4MB installed on the FRANCES board. I have tried running the demo with the KICK START not mapped to FRANCES since this sometime causes problems with demos that make timing assumptions on how fast the KS routines execute. I have tried both the 3 MB and the 3.5MB version and they both barf after the helmet rises and rotates. At this point the screen goes blank (a black blank) and stays that way until I reboot. Has anyone pulled this demo off of xanth and got it to work? John R. Rose AKA rosej@sbcs.sunsb.edu
