- I have a 128k Rainbow PC100A with Boot ROM 04.03.11A 1982 and use KERMIT-86
- version 2.9 under CP/M-86/80 version 2.00 (1.1) 1983. I have a problem if
- I run KERMIT, EXIT, and then try to reboot the system by pressing SET-UP and
- CTRL/SET-UP. The screen flashes, says "TESTING...", then dies. The keyboard
- is dead - the only way to recover is to power off.
-
- The problem sometimes occurs with MS-KERMIT on the MS-DOS side, but not
- consistantly. It is reproducible at will by running KERMIT-86 and entering
- the EXIT command to KERMIT. It never happens if I press SET-UP + CTRL/SET-UP
- while KERMIT-86 is still running - the EXIT code kills my Rainbow.
-
- I left a message on the Rainbow Engineering FIDO (617)486-2285, other people
- have observed this problem too.
-
- Does KERMIT-86 mess up the Rainbow's Non-Volital RAM?
