Subj: REPLY TO MSG #1211 (BOOSTER PAK WOES)
I've had several Booster Packs...starting with the very earliest models. The current version is much, much improved over previous ones. I used to lose information (permanently) as a matter of routine. I think one of the problems was that my TMPC program was not compatable with the early Booster Packs. I also may have had a defective memory chip at some point. In any case, I no longer experience any "serious" (unretrievable) cold starts. Now I just have to deal with my own ignorance. The problem I had loading long programs has been solved thanks to the program DO2BA.100 in the utilility library. It seems to convert .DO to .BA quickly and effortlessly. (It loads in a small machine language program that does the job.) Once you get comfortable with the Booster Pack I think you'll find it invaluable. I'm a professional ad writer and the Booster Pack lets me do ALL my work on the Model 102. I have no other computer. Thanks for the reply, stay in touch.
