Seven Seas demo not working

[Leo42]

I have problems running the seven seas slideshow: no matter what configuration I'm using (500/1200), when I insert disk 1, it asks for disk 1 (!!)...

Anyone got it running ?

(it can be found on Aminet)

No, it cannot work. :D
What you're trying to do, is boot from Disk B.
Aminet is confusing here: the demo comprises TWO disks.
You can thank zeg of amigascne.org to have this disk 1 online.
In the zone. :)

Well, actually there are all disks on Aminet...

The only problem is that disk one is separated into two dms files:

-http://main.aminet.net/demo/slide/AOA.SevenSea1a.dms
-http://main.aminet.net/demo/slide/AOA.SevenSea1b.dms

And you have to uncompress both archives on the *same* disk to create disk one of the slideshow !

A shame the readme doesn't explain anything at all ! :(

Anyway,
thanks for the help !

Ah YES!
And I was thinking that Sevensea1b.dms is USELESS!
Certainly I had this thing viewed in my hex editor and found 50% of the disk empty!
So there were single-sides of the disk archived to dms!
Many thanks, I wouldn't have thought of that! :shocked
