Hi Group,
I was doing some work on my collection this weekend.
In particular I was reviewing my MICRO magazines (that
deal with the KIM, PET, and various 6502 systems).
I noticed that the latest copy I have is issue #18. I was
wondering if anyone knew if there were issues beyond
this or if the name of the magazine changed into something
else and I'm just not making the connection?
By the way, in the range of issues #1-18, I am missing
issues #15 & #16. I do however have duplicates of some
of the other issues. If anyone has duplicates of those two
issues, in good shape, and you're interested in trading,
one-for-one, let me know which issues you need and I'll
see if that's one of the ones that I have duplicates of.
I should have noted which ones I have copies of but I forgot
and they're not here with me.

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,
