------------------------
I ran the demo with my V3 3000 ! enjoy, this is really beautiful and a
big sound system is recommended !

I use the Amigamerlin 1.6 for V3/4/5 (i am under Win98SE)

there is a little bug at the run but this is not really awkward

but you must have a sound card installed otherwise the demo doesn't
run

about your drivers, try the last Amigamerlin v2.5 WIn2K/XP V3/4/5
