It works for me with Steem for linux with TOS 1.62 FR and 2 MB RAM. 
Pressing '1' on menu 53 correctly runs the demo.

This is certainly a side effect of some memory being luckily set to a 
working value with this combination.

But as TOS 1.62 was the main STE's TOS, I would guess it really worked 
on many real STE (they certainly never tested their menu on STF, since 
most demo screen are STE only)
