Amiga Demo's

The REAL purist version would be to ship a real A500 and a stack of blank floppies, and a box containing a embedded computer with some sort of mass-storage device. The box comes with an RS-232 port, and emulates a 9600 baud modem (higher speeds for later demos) and an arcane BBS, where the demos are stored with cryptic filenames and inadequate descriptions. You then have to download the demo you wish to see and write it to a disk, a process that will at a minimum take an afternoon. Finally, you can boot the demo disk only to realise that the speed is all wrong and the bottom 56 lines are cut off. For extra realism, the box will block your phone line while the download is simulated and deduct 1990's long distance rates from your savings account.
