That was such an interesting question that I immediately tried.
From my A2000 I knew that I had to use NoFastMem before.

BUT this was not necessary on the A3000!!! I just took the Kaleidoscope
disk to boot WB from it, that worked, I typed Polyscope, and that works
too! It has also no difficulties loading new scenes from floppy.
Mysteries over mysteries...

BTW, this Polyscope show is announced in the title screen as a demo
for the true program Kaleidoscope which should serve to create such
patterns. But this program never made it, obviously. I already wrote
to EA to perhaps get it, but no answer at all? Someone knowing more
about the issue, or perhaps even having that tool? I WANT it!
