S61304@PRIME-A.POLY-SOUTH-WEST.AC.UK (Rat) (01/17/90)
(From "The Masked Rat Fink" "Computing and Informatics Yr4") Could someone tell me if I have a problem on my machine!? I have a 520STFM upgraded to 1meg by my dealer. All the memory checks out OK using the memory check utility in the QMI deskCart!, so I know that all the memory is right but I find that I'm getting lines of fluttering on some dialog boxes, DCformat 3.0 being the first I noticed it. However to make it even more interesting the lines (about three of them on the opening dialog box) do not appear on the second box, despite it being positioned in the same screen location. My dealer has offered to check over the video chips and inspect the soldering on the upgrade. Should I take up his offer? Can anyone point me in the direction of the possible problem? Apart from this, all is well, and I now don't know how I managed with only .5meg, heck I wont be happy until I have the big 4!! (And to think that I didn't know what to do with all of the memory in my ZX81 16K RAMpack years ago!!! :-) Please could people answer to the net because the ukc node refuses to talk to my polytechnic, they haven't paid up :-( Many thanks, | Simon Chappell (The Masked Rat Fink) | Computing and Informatics (Final Year), Polytechnic South West (Plymouth) | |"Better the pride that resides, in a citizen of the world, | than the pride that divides, when a colourful rag is unfurled." - RUSH | | JANET S61304@uk.ac.psw.pa BITNET S61304@pa.psw.ac.uk | INTERNET S61304%uk.ac.psw.pa@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk | | Disclaimer: 'And you believed ME?' <falls on floor laughing>
