*** COMPATIBILITY ***

* TV type *

The Juno First demo ROM can be played on NTSC or PAL60 systems.  Please ensure that the version you are playing matches the TV type of the monitor you are using.

The AtariVox and SaveKey are devices that allow high scores and game settings to be saved when playing Juno First.  The demo version of Juno First 
will detect a SaveKey but the save functionality has been disabled and is available in the full version only.

Juno First also supports the voice feature of the AtariVox device.  This allows full speech phrases to be played during a game!  The voice feature of the
AtariVox is disabled in the demo version.
