This is the same place it bombs with my A1000 LUCAS/FRANCES combo. I have 4MB
installed on the FRANCES board. I have tried running the demo with the KICK
START not mapped to FRANCES since this sometime causes problems with demos
that make timing assumptions on how fast the KS routines execute. I have tried
both the 3 MB and the 3.5MB version and they both barf after the helmet rises
and rotates. At this point the screen goes blank (a black blank) and stays
that way until I reboot. Has anyone pulled this demo off of xanth and got it
to work?
