Can't actually read the words as they are obviously broken up but I did wonder if MIRACLE SYSTEMS was in there somewhere trying to show itself. It's a starter for ten i guess. Chap in work had a look at the underside of the PCB and whilst he wasn't 100% sure, he suspected the possibility that the edge connector had a possible dry joint or more.
JS ROM in my Ql ( not piggybacked though!? ), GC works fine with this QL. Neil >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 19 September 2006 10:24 >>> Sounds similar to one of my Aurora/SGC/QuBIDE machines which occasionally doesn't boot properly and I get Black and white horizontal stripes across the display with lettering at the top of the screen saying ROM VERSION NOT RECOGNISED CONTACT MIRACLE SYSTEMS FOR INFORMATION or words to that effect. I found that reseating the Di-Ren keyboard interface and/or the Rom (JS piggyback pair) sorts it all out for the next couple of months (oxidation?) Is all this familiar to anyone?
