Bally BASIC Demo Running in Blue Ram BASIC 1.1

Bally BASIC Demo ALMOST runs in Blue Ram BASIC 1.1
Here's what I did to get it close to running as quickly as possible.  The 
values for the BOX and other displayed items need to be changed to work in BRB 
1.1.

Put in LW or BRB utility (you can only use the BRB utility if you have a Blue 
Ram.  It crashes if it can't see an INS8154 I/O chip)

Now COPY the cart to !A000 - 8K
now MOVE from !B000 to !8000 - 4K
Next set the following values:
%(!6FFC)=!8000;%(!6FFE)=!9000;%(!6C82)=!8FF8

Now you can get the full listing like Richard did, without the garbage at the 
end. Setting the EOP marker (%(!6C82)) keeps the garbage from showing up.  Now 
it is a legit program. Running it does a little bit of strange stuff.  You may 
want to make the CF=LA. change before you start to keep it looking original.
Anyway. when you get to the "space adventure", the program looses it.  It gets 
lost in lines 20155 and 20160

BTW.  I have been running the demo for about 15 minutes.  All I did was make 
sure I had the large character font.  The SHOW MODES are still goofed up, but 
it is still playing in BRB 1.1.

The actual program size is !0FF8 or 4088 bytes to you decimal types.
