Subject: Funny behaviour with Apple //e and StarCard
I've just added a StarCard to my //e, and it's causing the //e to go bonkers
when CTRL-openapple-RESET is pressed to reboot, regardless of whether CP/M or
Apple activity was in progress. The machine starts writing garbage all
through the hi-res screen, and it begins a high-pitched whistle through the
speaker, like a TV horizontal oscillator gone bananas. If I then press
CTRL-RESET, the machine will reboot. The SoftCard I took out did not cause
this anomaly.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
