- In an attempt to help boost the Durham Amiga market (;-)) I decided to try
- and find a demo for their demonstration machine, which was all set up with
- nothing to do except display the `waiting for disk' anim. The manager at
- the Escom shop was very keen for me to help out. I came across the
- translated Point of Sale demo and thought ah-ha! Perfect! Unfortunately,
- although it runs on my A1200, the AT 1200's disk drive stopped it (or at
- least that's my assumption based on my knowledge of the difference with
- the drive). Now, these blokes are not tech-heads, and they don't want
- kids to be able to mess around with the machine. I'm therefore after a
- good-looking-and sounding demo, on one disk, which isn't rude (we're
- talking UK rude here - think conservatively!), which WILL work on a
- vanilla AT 1200 and will auto-repeat. I've though about HoisAGA, but the
- ending with the scrolling text and mixed screens lasts a long time...
- Does anyone out there know of an updated POS demo, or similar? Please
- E-Mail with suggestions, as I don't normally read this group (although I
- probably should ;-))
- Oh, and as an aside, the demo machine's Workbench disk had several
- checksum errors. Just as well it's the demo machine, really...!
