mine had that a long time ago (when i first got my sam)... except Zap & Pow and stuff still worked.... just had beep to play around with... strange though... when you did POW it sort of made the tv make a humminh noise... nothing like a POW, but you could get that something was going on... ...can it be the sound chip if the POW and stuff is still working? i thought they came out of the sound chip, from instructions from the processor (i could be speaking nonsense here).. i just didnt think they were pre-programmed into the sound-chip... i could be wrong.... i guess i should check the tech. manual... :o)... anyway.... while im here (just found this list exists).... i haven't used my sam for about a year... got transported off into the willy-nilly land of pc & mr. billy gates.... they forced me to learn pascal at college (instead of C which would be useful on a sam), and then x86 assembler (which again, is a waste of time on a sam)... but!... i figure it'd be a good start to start getting fred again.. if it still exists (which it *must*)... anyway.. whats the address?.... so i can have something to ceremonially stick into the old blighter on first-bootup-after-a-year (...crrrunch, grinndnd.. oh... i need a new disk drive).... thanks for any help, martin fitzpatrick Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ# : 11077801 AOL/CompuserveIM : Flupert
