When I ran across this a couple years ago, I transferred this to the IBM PC (which was my first computer) over a serial cable (I still have Telix installed) from a Windows XP desktop since it also had a serial port, and use Hyperterminal to transmit the file. And in order to get it to that computer I had to put it on a USB drive.
It was pretty cool seeing it run. That PC was what I used from 1987-1993 and it was mostly obsolete during that time but I tried to get everything I could out of it. There was nothing that approached what this demo was able to do graphically. (There were a lot of cool music programs even for the PC speaker back then though.) Although, I get a memory parity error partway through the demo because I don't have the full 640k due to some bad memory chips on the memory expansion card.
It helps that they designed it for composite output, since I no longer have a CGA monitor, but you can still hook it up to TVs.
I had to transfer it to a win2k machine via network, then wrote a serial transfer program in gwbasic and visual basic 6.
I don't have a CGA but some ati clone (forgot name, it can emulate a bunch of modes including hercules), so I couldn't get colors to work in their new 1k mode. The color burst was either not recognized at all or the picture wasn't stable. But that might have been an issue with the modern TV, or both.
Most effects worked really well with that card surprisingly. Kefrens bars started halfway through the screen for some reason but otherwise were fine too.
