[comp.sys.handhelds] RAM card errors.

lien@plains.NoDak.edu (Craig Lien) (01/04/91)

I'm currently having the experience of the "Invalid Card Data" error upon
power-on.  I have a 128K expansion card being used as a "RAM drive."  The
ON-D-uparrow test says ok.

Is there anyway of finding out what causes this message?  A way to force a
garbage collection would be nice.

Thanks,
Craig

Craig,

I've found that the "Invalid Card Data" error can come from doing a
memory reset and saying "YES" to the recover memeory question.  Any old
libraries that are not quite OK might get recovered and an attempt to
attach them when the '48 is turned on (boots?)

Try archiving and restoring.  That should clear it up.

I've had that same problem when I was playing with SYSEVALS.  I had to
do a total reset and reload.  There may be other ways...
