Yes, I did. but then I stupidly attempted a destructive RAM write test (POKE) without stopping to understand where I was writing to. Naturally, things "did not go well". :) I think this M100 is just fine. I did swap out the bottom (opt3) ram module for one of the same type, but that's just for

Hey Josh, Confirmed. However the TEXT program also stores pointers in that same area and that is where the 8085 Assembly Stack space is located, so I'm not sure I would conclude that there is an issue with high RAM. I'm assuming you tried a cold boot? Ken On 8/31/18 10:44 AM, Josh Malone

[M100] M100 memory map: basic BASIC problems

2018-08-31 Thread Josh Malone
All, I'm diagnosing an M100 system that's behaving in ways that clearly indicate problematic RAM. To make a long story short: I can type a long TEXT document no problem, but type more than a few lines of BASIC and it spazzes out like crazy (LIST prints garbage before/after your source, NEW gives
