I get that. Still, I suggest you remove Rex and simplify your computer, for now. Get used to making things work without Rex, then add that in again, so you can separate issues that occur.
Lots of things can go wrong. Also, i'll suggest being very detailed information your description of what is going wrong. It makes divining what has gone wrong simpler. I guess my point is- there are skills in using the M100 that are unique, and that's worth getting really solid on. Maybe you are there already, but maybe also some of your issues are compounded by multiple problems.

I've got the RED Manager loaded up, I followed the guide and made a new backup called "Games". My plan was to have Lunar.ba installed and what ever else I could fit in to the memory.

Eventually I did get it to come up and display. Today however the rex manager vanished again and the whole computer locked up with no picture. I got it back working but with no rex, spent the past hour carefully bending the pins and the REX is back...Perhaps the pins on my machine are a little worn or shaped in such a way that its enough to fudge up working with the rex module. >> >> >> >> Now its up and working, I'm hoping I can copy some rom images over to the rex :D >> >> >> >> All the best >> >> James >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> -- >> >> My retro tech blog and general ramblings >> >> http://bytemyvdu.wordpress.com/ >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> -- >> >> My retro tech blog and general ramblings >> >> http://bytemyvdu.wordpress.com/ >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> -- >> >> My retro tech blog and general ramblings >> >> http://bytemyvdu.wordpress.com/ >> >> >> >> >> > >> > >> > >> > -- >> > My retro tech blog and general ramblings >> > http://bytemyvdu.wordpress.com/ >> > > > > -- > My retro tech blog and general ramblings > http://bytemyvdu.wordpress.com/ >
