Ah, got it. The original blue sheet of instructions doesn't mention this, back to the upgrade printout...
"If a file ROM1, ROM2, ROM3, or ROM4...exists in root directory of RomDisq, then this will be initialised prior to F1/F2. This file must be either a bootable ROM, or a RESPR driver file, otherwise the RomDisq may cause the QL to lock up (this would require a TF Services rescue!)." Well worth repeating that here, not sure how many would have cottoned on to using that to ensure that the SuperHermes extensions get initialised before a boot program has been run. Although the risk of a system lockup by a bad call to machine code before bootup might put some off. But, a handy little hint that, Sir TF! -- Dilwyn Jones _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
