[comp.sys.atari.8bit] Need help with P-R Connection and Syncalc upgrade

rmrin@inuxh.UUCP (D Rickert) (07/31/88)

I recently bought a P-R connection
to use with an AT&T 4000 modem I had
lying around.  Unfortunately, when I
fire it up with my brand new 130XE
(new to me anyway, I don't know how
long it's been in the box at the
dealers) I get the diagnostic "turn
on the 850".  This also happens sometimes
but not always when I use the machine
with my original 800XL.  It appears
the P-R Connection is not talking
to the 130XE politely enough.  Can
anyone make a suggestion?
Also, when I went for the 130XE I also
ordered an upgrade of Syncalc as I
understood the later version would use
the expanded memory.  Unfortunately, the
new discs show the initial trademark but
will not load the program.  Any help
here?  Thanks, Dick Rickert AT&T INDY

the program.
