Subj: BOOSTER PAK WOES

Hi, Marty,
 I fairly recently acquired a Model 102 with Booster Pak, a meg of RAM, lots of
other goodies.  I'm pretty experienced with many other computer systems, but
this one's new to me, too.
 I've experienced a few problems (mostly operator error!) and several cold
starts, non fatal and I haven't lost any files or data, which I believe speaks
well for the integrity of the system and its add-on stuff.
 Regarding your problem downloading and converting .DO-to-.BA files, I haven't
experienced that particular problem yet, but I'll try to duplicate it and let
you know what happens.
 Also, be aware that TS-DIR (Utilities catalog in the Library) is a useful but
potentially troublesome program, depending upon which ROMs you have.  I've
experienced a couple of cold starts since I've installed a Lucid ROM and used
TS-DIR.  Again, no files lost, but it was a bear to restart my 102.  It could
simply be a matter of ensuring that MAXRAM and HIMEM are cleared beforehand.
 Stay in touch, and good luck,
 Lex.
