I just received a trs-80 model II over the weekend :-)
I have never used a model II before.
It looks like there is some kind of problem...here are the symptoms:
When I turn it on, the screen is all inverse exclamation points "!".
It says "INSEST!DISKEUTE"
When I close the diskette door, the exclamation points turn non-inverse
but still cover the screen.
It when boots (in this case I am booting a cpm disk).
The letters seem jumbled up...after booting, I see:
"CQ/MQ!for!tss-81 MOEM II
63k!Version!2/25A
Copyrigit!(c)!1981 Migecoat Associaues"
And it goes to a command prompt.
The rest of the screen is still filled with exclamation points.
The system does respond as I type things, but letters are garbled.
Any ideas? Does this sound like some bad memory? How can I diagnose
this?
Thanks!
