- Eh....I've got one of them things lying around...Piece of junk if you ask
- me..doesnt even make a good paperweight, and is a lousy doorstop.
-
- Theres a switch and a button on the cartridge itself... ACCESS felt it
- necessary to put a reset button on a 128 cartridge..(I guess to save wear
- and tear on the system's reset button?!?!). The little switch puts the
- cartridge in 64 or 128 mode. Simply flick the switch, press the reset
- button (your choice!) and you have MOCK 5 or MOCK 128.
-
- It does have hex/bin/dec conversions, which is nice. I never cared for
- the little drive knock you got when it couldnt find a file. Sometimes
- you'll question the speed difference in your load times.
-
- Well, it *DOES* have screen dump also. One of the easiest features to
- remember of MOCK 128--It *does* dump.
