Thye Chean,

If you look in the following folder:

ftp://ftp.gno.org/pub/apple2/gs.specific/demos/gfxsound

you will find the following 4 files:
i)   salesdemo.1.shk
ii)  salesdemo.2.shk
iii) salesdemo.txt
iv)  salesdemohd.txt

The two shrinkit archives contain the sales demo disks files. The first
text file ("salesdemo.txt") describes how to create the disks and run
the demo. The second text file ("salesdemohd.txt") describes how to run
the demo from a hard disk (by modifying the configuration file).

I don't believe you need 2 drives, as I've manage to follow the
directions in the above text files which describes the process for using
one drive. The demo works in the KEGS port for Windows, but curiously
not in KEGS32 (which is a modified port). The important thing to get
right is the naming of the volumes when creating the disks - without
modifying the configuration file, the volumes *must* be name SD1 and
SD2. Failure to do so will result in the demo producing a "File Not
Found Error" which will get stuck in an infinite loop.

Hope this helps!
