Subject: *CONFIGURE Q

Hi,

I've been using BeebEm and Mess for development of my code, I have 
things working on the BBC-B/B+ and want to test them on the Master,
but have run accros a problem in Mess.

Mess seems to emulate MOS 3.50, whereas BeebEm (and my real Master), 
both have MOS 3.20. On the 3.20 machine, both real, and emulated I can 
reset the cmos, use a of *fx162,6,255 *fx162,7,255 to replug the roms
and then use *configure commands to set things up how I want them, 
default FS, screen mode etc.

However on Mess, I hold down 'r' to reset the cmos, and then do a break 
as instructed, the machine then resets into basic with adfs enabled. 
Fine, I should be able to configure things with *configure, however 
typing something like *configure file 9 just prints 13 (the rom number 
for adfs), and does not change the filesystem.

What if anything am I doing wrong ?

Cheers.

Phill.
