I have the exact same problem running II+ UnShrinkit 1.1 on an honest-to-goodness Apple ][+ (64k, rev 4 motherboard) with a joystick always plugged in. Have yet to get it to work. Any other ideas?

I have tried this with several Shrunk files and always get the same result when I tell it to go do it's dirty work. I have a Franklin 1000 w/a Sider HD and a DIsk II trying to unshrink from Sider to Disk II. Am I doing some- thing wrong? -Dan !att!drutx!dvac

Have yet to get it to work. Any >other ideas? Almost the same here. (I wrote the original question.) I have a ][+ clone but otherwise the same situation applies - the joystick is always plugged in. Incidentally, IIplus UnShrink versions 1.0 and 1.1 behave the same. I also received 1.1 via 2 routes (once via Apple2-L and once via comp.binaries.apple2) and they both did the same: nothing :-) As Lane says 'Any other ideas?' ---------- Rob Clive.
