_The Doctor__ Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Can we all run a memory check with carts in our 130XE's with various cartridge simulator/emulation solutions as well as other devices... Try them in various bypass modes like holding down option and turn on with no drives selected or attached/turned on etc. use the X, ESC, or other leave the cart in but leave the cart entirely modes Super Sparta X Cold /N while holding option down etc.... Notate if you loose memory or have memory reported as being bad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 AVGCart 130XE with avgcart inserted holding option and turning on computer, will not boot a spartados disk..... drive off... will go into self test like it should and memory test will only make the first 40 blocks last 8 blocks will show as bad... with avgcart inserted not holding option and turning on computer goes into cart menu hold option press esc... will boot a spartados disk... drive off... will go into self test like it should and memory test will show 48 blocks pass with avgcart inserted not holding option and turning on computer goes into cart menu not holding option press esc will boot a spartados disk.... drive off.... will go into self test like it should and memory test will show only 40 blocks pass and last 8 blocks don't show at all! is holding option on power up some special mode? or is it suppose to disable the avgcart, but it hasn't set something up and then conflicts with memory? the mystery unfolds...
