I've seen some postings mentioning the MOCKINGBOARD. I have a D model for my //C. It's pretty nice but most software does not access it do to the way it uses port 2. It seems that software not only has to be written for the Mockingboard but for this particular model. Does anyone know of any good software for this piece of equipment. I already have MUSIC CONSTRUCTION SET. Even some add on tunes for this would be welcome. They had a demo program that mixed graphics, music and speech synthesis. It was incomplete and supposed to be a sample of things to come. Has anyone seen or heard anything of this? AND....there was a posting about not being able to save mandlebrot graphics. Sorry, I really do need to write these names down. Anyway, the NO BUFFERS message usually means that maxfiles has been exceeded. If a program opens the maximum number of files, either intentionally or by doing weird things in memory and leaves them open this happens the next time you try to access the drives. Try entering CLOSE next time and see if that helps. If not,NEW sometim es helps although it probably should'nt. NO BUFFERS is also a common result of trying to run a binary program that was written for a different dos than your using. For instance DOS 3.3 stores it's start location in the first two bytes of the file while PRODOS stores it in the AUX TYPE portion of the catalog line.
