Thanks Chris,
       I've never used a Master Compact before, I took a guess that it
would be the same as a normal Master and got it wrong, sorry.


Andrew.

Hi

If that works then do the following:
*CONFIGURE FILE 9
that will set the battery backed memory so the machine boots in DFS mode, if
it doesn't retain the setting, then your battery is probably flat.

IMPORTANT!
The Master Compact does not have DFS fitted as standard. Plus it does not
have a battery backed CMOS RAM. Although it has an EEPROM that does a
similar job without the battery

Do CTRL+F+BREAK on the Compact to stop it trying to load an ADFS disc
