Main power switch doesn't cold start or clear ram. Memory power is under the laptop. Are you certain you are cold restarting correctly? You must power cycle the laptop power to reset REX.

The only way to start it is open Rexmanager, and activate the ROM in REX. It runs as normal. I can play around, switch back to TS-DOS or SuperRom and then shut the machine off... no problems. >> > >> > If IntSol is the active ROM (again no menu entry) and I shut the machine off. When I turn it on... all my files are gone. REX manager disappears and then becomes IntSol. At which point I can only start IntSol and I have to reflash the REX as I did yesterday. >> > >> > I see on the OptRom zip file on the wiki, that IntSol was updated?
