Subject: Screen garbage and program crashes

My 'new' Beeb appeared to work fine the first night I tried it, but now
it is having 'issues'.

For example, if I do a *CAT the file list will be displayed fine, If I
do *CAT again, say two or three times, the listing gets corrupted.
Sometimes it's as if I had done a *DIR G for example and all the files
are prefixed with $. Other times not all the files are listed.

If the disk does boot successfully into the menu and I select a game to
play sometimes it will crash with a syntax error, other times it will
just hang. If the game does load OK it might play for a couple of
minutes before crashing, usually leaving it in mode 5 with keypresses
going to screen. Sometimes the game loads but the screen text is garbled
or random patterns appear.

It is an issue 4 Beeb, with Watford DFS 1.44, Sir 12ROM board, and
Cumana single 80track disk drive.

Any ideas where the problem lies?

Cheers
Richard
