szubaark Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I just picked up a Vtech Laser 128 (Apple IIC Clone) and it boots up and tries to look for boot up disk then stops. I know pressing CTRL+RESET is suppossed to bring me into Basic (basic command cursor) so I can type programs. But when I try to press CTRL+RESET (as per manual) the computer just keeps looking for disk and repeats. I never get the basic Command Cursor so I can type anything. Am I doing something wrong here or maybe the ROM is currupt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david__schmidt Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 The Laser 128 is a little sensitive to how long you hold the keys down. Too long, and it goes into the full reboot cycle. So experiment a little with holding down Ctrl, but just quickly tapping the reset chicklet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
