- I figured out what the problem was, a non-functioning dip-switch.
- Even though the board was set correctly, it didn't think it was.
- So I went through and switched all the switches back and forth
- and then reset it up correctly. I put it in and was able to get the
- onboard formatter to work. Yeehh!
- Megan is right, the FMT command will not work on this emulation.
- but since the board has an onboard formatter, I'm set. Richard
- Chapman who is also using a Kennedy 5300 is out of luck though.
- After I got the board working he tried it with his 5300 and was
- able to format it, but the Dilog DU202 he is using won't recognized
- its format scheme. So he called Dilog, they want $250US for a
- formatting utility. Woah.
- I'm currently moving all my rl02 data over to my kennedy
- on the 23+. A little nicer setup then the 34a. Doesn't scare the
- cat as much, but the room is a lot colder without it running. 8-(
