- Last night I was fooling around with a flat C128 that a friend picked up
- at a yard sale or something. He said the keyboard didn't work well, so I
- was able to get it going by repalcing the CIA chip. While testing it out I
- discovered that it wouldn't recognise anything on the serial bus either.
- Any call to ANY device would return a "device not present" error. I
- replaced the second CIA chip and still no dice. While constantly
- rebooting this computer I would also get various reboot errors of two
- variations. About half the time the machine will not complete a reboot and
- not display the READY prompt and cursor. Another quarter of the time it
- will instead display this weird message:
-
- U1:13 0 01 00
-
- This shows up where the READY prompt would normally be, but the cursor
- sits there blinking after the last zero of this line!!!! Has anyone
- witnessed this before? Does anyone have a clue what it could mean? I
- suspect it is a cryptic clue to something, but I don't know what. Thanks
- for anyone's help!! :-)
