OK, I've sorted it.

By chance I thought I'd try it on my Kinetic RISCPC and it worked 
after altering the !Run file to take account of the harddisc location.

So I thought I'd check the files between those copied on the Iyonix 
and those on the RISCPC running adjust.

Well I found that in the SF-Resources some files on the Kinetic 
machine had a star in the name like Animations.Chemical*anim but on 
the Iyonix these had been copied as Animations.Chemical_anim.

So I copied the Kinetic RISCPC version of SF3000NG over to the Iyonix 
, amended the !Run file and run it and it worked.

Looks like a case of the old CDFS in the Iyonix doesn't like the 
naming convention.

Only other issue is that the voice message at the start is a bit quick
and sounds like Donald Duck on speed!

Anyway game looks great.

Doug
