Right, below is a script I have put together based on my startup-sequence to
run the demo.

After using this I get the following message:
Error: opening of display failed
Then a new dos window with the following:
Warp-OS-PowerPC exception
Page fault - Access to 500100CC
The exception instruction is located at 7715F870

Now this means absolutely nothing to me :)

Yeh, I know about that, but don't know what they included.

Single? for that price, oh well....
I've just ordered 2 x 64mb EDO, :) and the P&P is £10 + VAT, I wish they
didn't keep doing that :)
And BTW, I know what I said but...... they are charging £7.50 P&P, probably
get them Monday, no probs, the other price is for next day, which I'm not
worried about atm.
Well my nick on IRC etc IS Chaos, so there.
