Subject: Help with setting station number on M128,

I'll have to remember this about the co-processor being disabled when I
update my station-setting page!  

I had problems getting the routine to work originally (which is more or
less a direct lift of the method given in the Master Advanced Reference
Manual) until I put in a short delaying loop between the user inputting
the station number required and the value being poked into the CMOS
RAM.  This unnoticeable "pause" seemed to make the difference between
it not working and working, but I don't know why.

Best wishes,



Ian

Yes that was it, I still had the co-pro enabled  *doh*

I did not think there would be anything wrong with the program or the 
machine, I knew it was something I must of overlooked.

All sorted now, many thanks :)


Andy.
