	I know this was discussed some time ago, but I recently purchased
Populous -- neat looking game, incidentally -- but it doesn't load
properly.  The demo works quite tantalizingly (?) but the actual game
never loads.  I've checked my floppy rotation speed, and it's 299: pretty
much bang on.  I've got an ancient 520 (1 Meg) and a DS drive.

	Basically what I'm asking is: is there a hope for me, or do I try
to return the game?

	A plague on EA and all their descendants for their nutso copy
protection...
