- That sound very strange! I have run the demo about 5 times, in both
- 50 and 60 mode and Censored and uncensored mode! The only time I have
- ever heard of something like this happing was in a old version of
- ZZ copy, If you typed in merlin for the p/w it screwed you! it set the
- text, border and screen to Black and the start up to the ROM disk!
- Easy enough to fix but people were thinking it was a virus!
