It's a pretty impressive animation demo. I'm curious why they wrote stuff into the boot tracks of the disk to run it. It's possible they want total and absolute control of the machine. It's my guess that this comes from Europe, most likely France: they use the symbol for ENTER that's found only on international keyboards. This is, of course, by no means conclusive evidence. I've seen two minor problems with it so far: on my ROM-3 machine with 2 floppies, it gets confused about which drive the disk is in & I have to switch it then it doesn't eject the disk. On a converted IIe, there are some major problems with the sound. I've heard, though, that some of the early conversions there were problems with the Ensoniq chips... so this may just be that.
