| 417.1 | 3 bombs with MAC emulator installed? | LDP::WEAVER | Laboratory Data Products/Science | Wed Mar 08 1989 17:39 | 8 |
| Have you tried running without the MAC emulator installed in the
cartridge port? The first Mega I received had a very similar sounding
problem, though I can't remember the specifics. If I removed the
Magic Sac, it ran just fine. The dealer swapped out the Mega and
the problem was gone. I would take it back to the dealer and get
it fixed/replaced.

| 417.2 | "Heat" vs. "Mechanical" | IOENG::JWILLIAMS | Welcome to the Bush League | Wed Mar 08 1989 18:16 | 12 |
| "Heat" problems may also be "Mechanical" problems. If the megas
use a ground shield like the 520's and 1040's, then I would suggest
making sure nothing can short. I had a problem very similar on a
1040.
Here's a quick test:
If it's mechanical then it'll be provoked by shock and vibration.
How many people remember smacking the side of a TV? Try pushing
hard on your keyboard, for example, and see what that does.

Better late than never and this also seemed to be the best
spot for this question.
I finally received my copy of `The Duel - Test Drive II'
yesterday. I booted it up and it came up fine. Played four
games in a row and enjoyed it. (Neat game ! :^))
Then last night after having taken a break. I started the
system up and worked through the modem into work for about an
hour, then decided to play a game before going to bed and
couldn't get the game to start. Kept getting three bombs.
Figured it was heat and just went to bed thinking I'd have to
put a note in here this morning.
Well this morning I tried it again. Same thing ! Three
bombs and the system had been off all night. Figured I'd try
to copy the game to a blank floppy and even that errored out.
(`The data on disk A: may be damaged, use the correct type
floppy, make sure your hard disk is connected properly' style
message.)
Now I'm worried though. I'm worried if maybe my 360Kb drive
is glitching in there somewhere and causing problems/writing
bad checks (oops, I mean data). (I've also been having a
heck of a time UNARCing/UNZIPping files copied via CKermit
too. THEY keep barfing out on me as well. No error
messages. . .not much of anything to run with !)
Can anyone help me here ? If more information is needed,
I'll do my best to enter it in the finest of detail. Almost
wish I could go to that NaVAUS meeting/swap tonight, but four
hours drive one way is a tad much on a work night. :^))
Thanks in advance.

| Did you have the write protect switch on the disk enabled ???

Nope, the disks were write enabled just like the instructions
said.

| The KERMIT/ZOO/ARC problem may be unrelated.
