I got the Lemmings Demo working, but I have a question:

I boot up with the Lemmings Demo disk in df0:, but quite often the
demo freezes up before I get to the main menu screen.  This happens
especially when I am trying to 'warm boot' into Lemmings.  I find that
I have the most luck getting it to run if I 'cold boot'--this doesn't
always work.  Also, after I played for a while, one of the levels loaded
in had trashed graphics.  I returned to the menu and reloaded that level
and all was well.

My conclusion:  this demo has some ULTRA-SENSITIVE disk loading routines.
My question:  am I right, and is the release version as sensitive?

It's a really cute game; I just wish I could get it to load more often.
(BTW: my system is A2000, 1 meg (512k is CHIP), 2 internal Commodore floppies,
Kickstart ROM 1.3)
