Is R-Type supposed to have a demo mode? Mine just displays the title screen, it never goes to a demo when not being played. According to the chart there's a dipswitch setting for demo sound, but not for demo mode. Is there supposed to be one?

yes there is one...is yours set on some kind of freeplay maybe? Or a bunch of credits saved?
 
Yes, you must disable freeplay for the attract mode to run.

I will gladly contribute $$$ for someone to modify the Roms to allow for freeplay with attract mode in R-type.
 
Ah, that's it. It's set to freeplay. I didn't realize that would disable the demo mode. It was set to freeplay before I picked it up (as I requested when I bought it), so I didn't think to ask the guy about that.

Okay, another question. I'm trying to learn to read a dipswitch chart. With regard to the coin settings, what's the difference between Mode 2 and Mode 1? Here's the chart if it helps...
