- Hmmm. Being in a bit of a quest for A1200 demos myself, I have found that
- the Point Of Sale demo doesn't appear to work on the new machines due to
- the DISKREADY problem. However, I can recommend Chris Handley's
- collection of 40K demos on an autobooting disc which is now playing in
- the Escom store where I work (with any luck they will have figured out
- how to switch it on while I'm not there to do it for them!).
-
- It's found on the Aminet at demo/aga/ShopDemo.lha (that's the PAL
- version). There's also an NTSC version.
-
- What I'd REALLY like is for a new demo to be written specially
- for the retail trade. You can download a copy of the Escom, and Amiga
- logo from my web page, if you like. Bear in mind that it'd have to be a
- FAMILY thing ie. no swearing, preferably no jibes at PeeCees (but if you
- do make sure that it's very brief, in case the area manager is in the
- neighbourhood!).
