Hey... I just plugged in & sparked up my Tandy 600, and it's acting really
weird.
First off, out of the 128K RAM that's in there, it thinks it has around a
Meg in it... yes, I triple-checked the decimal place. Could HH/OS handle a
Meg of RAM???
Secondly, it will only boot with the 4 fingered salute with
<alt><label><ctrl><escape> and it gives me a really weird error:
Uncoop System Load: Disk Error. Retry (Y/N)?
If I insert the system disk and press Y, this is what comes up:
Uncoop System Load: not found. Retry (Y/N)?
If I answer N to either question, the machine powers off.
When I repower the machine, I get this:
Unable to restart, critical system data damaged.
Hit any key to reinitialize system.
Once I do so, it actually boots to ROM, and anything that runs purely from
ROM will actually run, but to try to get a disk listing or (presumably) do
anything that tries to grab "top of RAM" seems to crash, due to it thinking
it has a Meg (1041888 is the number I get after a system restart) and not
the 128K that it actually has.
Any idears??? I haven't time to yank the 96K board out tonite, but will
test that next.
Oh, and from everything I tested, the Calendar proggie works great until
Dec. 31, 2099, so methinks the think is Y2K compliant. (Better than my
Palm III - it's only good until 2042... ;-)
Thanks,
Roger "Merch" Merchberger
