Got mine today! Loaded in some OPTROMS and one of my old RAM backup images
from my REX Classic, and they work great! (Not sure if you want to test that
yourself before updating the wiki, Stephen.) Only hitch (mostly cosmetic) is
that there is still a REXMGR entry on the menu screen left over from the saved
image, which REXMGR would normally clean up and replace but now it just adds
RXCMGR. At least both of those entries will launch RXCMGR for you, and if it
bothers you (like it does me) you can use a DOS or just KILL "REXMGR" from
BASIC to get rid of it.
Also loaded the current CP/M disk image and played around a bit with that. I'm
very pleased and I can't wait until the MVT100 is available.
I ran into one problem so far, and I also have a question:
Problem: I can't run a backup using RXCUTL - I am prompted for what to back up
(I tried both, same results), then Backup or Restore (I tried both, same
results), then 19200 or 76800_LB (I only tried 19200). RXCUTL proceeds to load
the machine language code and then gets to this (and yes, LaddieAlpha is
running before I reach this point):
Loading at: 61000 <....(didn't type out all the dots)....> 62356
Params=REXCPM,Backup,19200
Can't run!!
Press space bar for MENU
Question: I notice that OPTROM and RAM images in RXCMGR no longer show a
modification date/time stamp and therefore hitting 's' to change the directory
sort order doesn't do anything. Was this an intentionally-dropped feature?
