New question I have now confirmed that teeny & tiny work OK with the multiplan ROM
But, trying DSKMGR got this issue… Is DSKMGR compatible with M102? When I try to load it I get an ?FC error On line 11 The command that is failing is: Clear 256,60700 If I just try to enter that command, I get sane failure So DSKMGR will not load??
