Subject: More tiny problems...

Hoping someone can help...I've just been given a BBC Master which switches
on in *TAPE mode, meaning I have to type *DISK to get the disk filing system
going. Is there a simple fix to get it immediately in disk mode?

Will the battery dying stop the machine running normally in the future?

Also - weren't BBC Master's supposed to have 128K? So why, when I type PRINT
HIMEM-TOP, do I get the same value of memory space as a 32K BBC B?

Lastly - why is the colour TV signal so bad from BBC Micro's? Is there any
fairly simple way of improving it (or does anyone know where there is a
cheap supply of colour monitors)?

Thanks if you can help....
