I am currently having a strange problem with my Timemaster card. It seems to work just fine (ProDOS is able to timestamp my files ok) ... until problems occur. The symptom is always the same -- it puts the following characters on my screen in inverse video: + E R Y Then, usually about 15-20 seconds later it pops me into the monitor. It sounds like a stray interrupt (I run the clock with interrupts disabled, so it shouldn't be that), but why should it put that junk on the screen first? It usually happens when I am running the linker (MANX) for my C compiler. I also run with two other AE cards -- 1M ram and the Transwarp accelerator card. I have tried 3 combinations: ram & clock, accelerator and clock, ram and accelerator. It only happened when the clock was present. It happens the most frequently when all three are present, but I suspect that is because things just happen faster (I put all of my source code, object code, and tools in the ram card; at 3.6 MHz and no disk I/O it REALLY FLIES!). I called AE about it and they have never heard of such a thing occurring. Anybody out there see it before? Thanks a lot, -- geoff sherwood ...![ ihnp4 ulysses cbosgd mgnetp ]!burl!geoff ...![ ihnp4 cbosgd akgua masscomp ]!clyde!geoff
