I have a sick C64. Can anyone help diagnose the problem or does anyone have the CBM diagnostic cartridge to trouble shoot the system? When you turn power on, the normal CBM...bytes free message and boot process does not occur. Instead, an "out of memory" message is printed at the top of the first screen any you can not load or create ML or Basic programs. However, if you plug in a cartridge such as Telestar terminal program or EMS autoload, or a game, the C64 seems to work OK. With Fastload, the normal CMB Bytes Free message is displayed but you cannot load and RUN any programs (ML or otherwise). I was able to operate a ML monitor, but it locked up when dissassembling 0001 to 0800. Please don't hesitate to call me on 201 949-2375 or reply via EM if you have the answer or have a diagnostic program that might work. Thanks, Roger T. homxb!rnt1 201-949-2375
