Hi!
I think someone on this list is a System 80 expert, and I am hoping I can
find them. :) I just picked up a System 80 with expansion box and disk
drives, but I'm having some trouble. When I power it up I either get
gibberish on the screen (the usual stuff you get before the ready signal)
that doesn't go away, or, when I switch the box off,I just jump to BASIC.
This happens with or without a disk in the drive. I tried another System
80, and that one didn't seem to notice the expansion box at all - it
always went into BASIC, whether or not I had the box switched on.
None of the manuals seemed to have anything useful to say, but I suspect
that either I am being really stupid and failing to do something basic,
or something is broken somewhere. Any ideas?
Thanks heaps,
Adam.
