Hello, all:
I'm muddling through this a bit. I found an old CGA monitor up in
the attic that I attached to the TrackStar. I'm able to boot the TS into
Integer Basic successfully. I still don't know if the composite output works
since I think that there is a problem with the Apple Composite monitor I
have (it displays only a yellow background). I think that the updated FAQ
mentions that it's a video level problem.
Using the TS utilities, I was able to create a DOS3.3 disk image in
the TrackStar format. the TS will not "boot" that image, nor will it boot
the image included with the drivers. I still can't get it to boot.
I just checked the Apple2 FAQ and the TrackStar page was updated
about 1 month ago. It mentions that some TS disk images are available from
the GSWorldview archive, a link which doesn't work. Does anyone have a link
to the working archive?
As a result of this experimentation, I think that I'm going to do a
TrackStar Web page this weekend.
