[Coco] CoCoFest DownUnder!

[Mark Marlette]

Nick,

Annoying power on reset wait....Yep, technology does have it's draw backs. Low power = long retention.

Don't use the power switch to do a reset. Yes bad habits are hard to break. Could use the old dog new tricks, but I am getting old.... :)

CTL-ALT-RESET, RESET or POKE 113,0:EXEC 35867

Problem solved........


With it running on your system, still doesn't rule out other issues. The easiest is to run the memory test on the suspect machine.

Regards,

Mark

My CoCo3 at home IS a 512K PAL CoCo3 (They're all PAL here in Australia).

No problems with mine whatsoever.

I wish we had time to try moving the Triad to the 128K system where the 
CoCoSDC was working fine. This would have narrowed thing down a bit.

He did have that annoying long wait before he could power up again.

I wonder if it has anything to do with that late generation CoCo3? I'll 
suggest to him to try moving the Triad to the 128K CoCo3.
