chomp! chomp!
On occasion when I use my 1541 disk drive I get a
Device Not Present error. I have checked the connections
and all is fine. I usually remedy this by pushing the reset
on the expansion board, but first I have to save the file
to tape, which takes too long if the file is big.
I am using a Data 20 80 col board. I suspect they are
playing with some memory locations that they should have
left alone. The latest program that caused me problems was
a maillist that was 'straight' basic. I didn't touch any
of the device locations. What is the problem?
Bug of the Week:
1. Cannot customize characters with the Data 20 40/80 col board.
This is very annoying gentlemen. Upper and lower case are
set by only one bit, with no redirect.
2. Cannot access the voices of the Vic when using the Data 20
board. I have had this board for over 6 months, and since I
did not have a speaker for my monitor I wasn't using them.
But now I have a speaker, and my termulator signals with a
tone when the download buffer is within 256 bytes of overflow.
Before I couldn't hear the tone because I didn't have a speaker,
now I can't hear it because it is inaccessable.
