Doug, Thanks for the !Run mods, thats helpful, Intro now fully plays. On both
my Iyonix 5.13 and Kinetic RO 4.32.

CDROMFS in my Iyonix doesn't corrupt the filenames with '*' in them copies
them as is!  

However I have a Xerox 22" wide  screen LCD monitor which won't handle
the large range of modes that my CRT did so a Error 'Screen mode not
available' is no surprise... so I in common  with lots out there with
certain LCD's are a bit stuck to  actually play the game!:-( Any idea what
mode !SF3000 is looking for?
