I've never tried running the demo on a ROM03 machine. However, it would
be somewhat logical if the demo didn't work on it seeing the demo was
written when ROM00 was in existence.

I have tried running the demo on my ROM01 machine with the AE Transwarp
card enabled... Technically it runs, but the graphics outpace the
audio, making things totally out of order.
