WARNING!! WARNING!! WARNING!! WARNING!! WARNING!! WARNING!!

Before you download any demos from the Party II, READ THIS!!

Ok, I downloaded the demos in the first eight positions.
I hoped at least that these guys knew how to program, but boy
was I WRONG?!? Of all the demos only ONE worked with 68030!!!
Two of them didn't even work when switched to 68000!!. (Even
that Skid Row debugged two of them didn't help!)

This is a shame! What can we do to help those poor novice amiga
programmers to learn how to program? One guy have started a
'How To Code' doc file, and I find that VERY GOOD!! Keep up
the work! All of you knowing any Amiga coder out there, PLEASE
show them this doc file or at least tell them that there exist
other Amigas than their owns! Now that A4000 and A1200 came
out it's even more important to consider other processors than
MC68000 and other graphic chips than ECS and older.

How can a demo win a competition without working?? That
is a major question! Only Shinings demo worked on 68030
and it was in place five! Don't they TEST their work before
release??? What would happen if I bought a new car and when
it starts raining the chassi would meld or the the wheels get
loose?

Ok here is my list. My configuration is:

A2000
A2630 (68030 with 4 Meg 32bit memory)
A2320 Flicker Fixer
8Up Memory card with 6 Meg (only using 4)
GVP Serie I SCSI card
ECS Agnus and ECS Denise (1 Meg Chip)
2.04 ROM (37.175)

(The accelearor card is switchable to 68000 in bootup)

Jag h}ller fullst{ndigt med dina synpunkter. N{r jag k|pte min A3000
kunde jag helt enkelt inte s{lja min A500 just p.g.a. att s} m}nga
ljuvliga demos (och kommersiella spel!) inte ville fungera korrekt
p} en "turbo-Amiga". Finns det inga party-organisatorer d{r ute som
s{tter upp regler som att demos i penningstinna t{vlingar M]STE funka
}tminstone med 030-baserade Amigor?? OK, att det inte funkar p} en A4000
men.....
