Greetings!
I'm having problems with my Mach-128 cartridge (from Access software) and I
wonder if anyone in net.land has some experience with this.
When I use the cart. in 64 mode, with a 1541-formatted disk, everything works
fine. Commands work, fast loader works. When used with a 1571-formatted disk,
though, any program that is either partially or entirely on side B of the floppy
WILL NOT LOAD with the fast loader. The commands can be active, but the fast
loading routines must be disabled.
As you can understand, I'm getting pretty sick of using the ancient CBM slow
loading routines for my slick new 1571, and wonder if there is some sort of
cure for this, that anyone knows of. If not, I'd be willing to consider
buying a different fastloader cartridge, but I really dislike the idea of a
cart. that dumps me into 64 mode on bootup (one of the real advantages of the
Mach-128 is that the powerup mode is selectable via a switch on the cartridge.)
Any suggestions or ideas would be welcome.
Thanks!
