- With the 1.02 Zip, that should not occur. Prior Zip boards did have a problem
- but they were a lot less subtle (i.e. your cursor left "tracks" all over the
- screen and so on). Even then, ditching the RAMFAST.DRIVER and using the
- P8 firmware from GS/OS fixed it.
-
- Try re-seating things like the Zip and so on, and see if that makes it work.
- Make sure you are fairly familiar with the troubleshooting section of the
- manual before you call Drew, he tends to get rather annoying if he thinks you
- are wasting his time with something that's in the manual. (Trust me on this!)
