I had previously tried all of those suggestions, but nothing seemed to work. I opened it up and had a good look around... lo and behold one of the fuses inside was blown. Why this should have caused the problem I dunno... Our power supply here in NZ isnt overly reliable, full of spikes and stuff, so Im suspecting it was one of those that fried it. But its working now - I dont have to use a crummy Riteman printer anymore!! :-) Thanx for your suggestions anyway! :-) -- ___ E-Mail: lincard@itsmac.waikato.ac.nz / / INC.A.R.D 1000 / /___________________ "I'm more of a man than you'll ever /_______________________\ be, and more of a woman than you'll ever get!" :-) #! rnews 816 Path: pravda.aa.msen.com!news1.best.com!nntp04.primenet.com!news.shkoo.com!nntp. primenet.com!ddsw1!news.mcs.net!in-news.erinet.com!bug.rahul.net!rahul.net!a2i !samba.rahul.net!rahul.net!a2i!news.PBI.net!news.mathworks.com!enews.sgi.com! decwrl!nntp.crl.com!crl2.crl.com!not-for-mail From: koyn@crl.com (T.

The faster processor means that there can now be some very respectable programs writing in basic. One of the interesting things to run on a SCPU is some of the old stuff that seemed pathetically slow - it looks like pure ml on the SCPU. Which ultimately means the programming market has opened up to a whole host of new programmers who are great at basic but never learned ml.

T. Cunningham) X-Newsreader: Pipeline v3.5.0 I spend most of my time programming for Color 64 Version 128, and will continue when Centipede (BBS) for the 128 is released. On the side, I write QD&D programs for my own uses. However, I'm currently working a project that I hope will involve more programmers than just me. Will the SuperCPU (64 or 128) make a big difference in the commie community? For GEOS or otherwise? I don't think so. If we really want to breathe life back into the commie community, we need serious video and sound upgrades. In reality, probably a new commie type computer altogether. CMD seems to be the only company at present that could possibly deliver what we would expect. Face it, why did the 64 become so popular in the first place? Load and run. Something that IBM and Apple (among others) couldn't deliver. To this day, you have to know how to configure your computer as well as your software when it comes to the PC. What we need is a computer that can load and run with the current technology. Then, and only then, will we see the people who once made the 64 great return and kick butt with the new stuff and blow the others away. Pipe dream, I'm sure. Richard T. Cunningham (a.k.a.
