The first time I ran it, it worked fine. All subsequent reboots, the boot screen (the swooshing ACS) was monkeyed up. I even re_unshrinked it to a new disk, locked the disk, and the first time I booted it, the boot screen was monkeyed up. Last night, at a user group meeting, I booted up the same disk on a ROM 01 IIGS with 512k, and 3.5" and 5.25" disks attached and it booted up fine each time I rebooted (no munged up boot screen). My system consists of a ROM 01 IIGS with a Applied Ingenuity GS Ram+ card with 2 MB memory, Apple 3.5" drive, Disk II 5.25" drive, and GCC Hyperdrive FX/20 hard drive. Could it be related to a control panel setting? Maybe the demo sets something in the machine that subsequently monkeys up subsequent reboots?
