Lapdos is picky. Designed for the PC and XTs, it will want similar conditions on 286, 386, et al. The LOADER program does a simple ASCII upload to your Model 100. That's not a biggie, and can work with other programs in the background. LAP, however, wants nothing lurking around, a slow processor speed, and a under 100 MB harddrive. One solution is to make a boot disk for your 286 with no special settings. Put Lapdos on the disk, as well. Boot the 286 from diskette, then run LAP. Your missing pixel line is common on older Model 100s and is a sign that one of the line-drivers is malfunctioning. Your Booster Pac has nothing to do with the LCDs drivers. Your solution is to replace the LCD. To concur this situation, call Tracy Allen at EME Systems, Berkeley (510) 848-5725 and ask him. Tracy may have other solutions. Try these things and let us know what worked... -Rick-
