Setting aside the fact that we just spent a week proving that manuals aren't bibles and can be full of crap, yes I am following the startup procedure from the beginning of the dvi users manual.
0: Everything turned off. Everything connected. Drive door open. No disk in drive. Monitor on. 1: M100 on. 2: DVI on. 3: Wait for dvi to say "Insert System Diskette" 4: Insert disk and close drive door. ...doesn't matter what comes next, because nothing else happens. Also another manual fallacy: "Be sure the edge with the write protect notch is the first to enter the drive." Oh really? Well, I am not actually doing that, so, maybe that's why it's not working? hehe -- bkw On Oct 27, 2017 1:19 AM, "Mike Stein" <mhs.st...@gmail.com> wrote: > > That sounds more like a disk drive or disk problem. > > Indeed, assuming that he's following the correct boot sequence. > > BTW, I have a couple of copies of the single sheet addendum to the DVI > instructions: > "Notice to Users of Radio Shack's DISK/VIDEO INTERFACE" > > It lists the M100 and T200 files on the system diskette and adds the T200 > Kill and Restart BASIC commands; is it on line somewhere or should I scan > it? > > m > > ----- Original Message ----- > *From:* John R.
