I also have the Jam Session demo.  It runs on MY Mac Plus (upgraded),
it ran on one or two "factory fresh" ones that I have seen.  I have
seen it run on a pre-release SE.  It does not run on this Mac Plus
I am sitting at, nor the SE next to it.  I have been unable to see
a pattern in any of this.  What I wish there was would be a new version
of Jam Session, because it's obviously very flakey with new ROMs.
