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.
