OK I went and retrieved ExpertPlus - loaded it as the instructions say
-- and everything went kaplooey again!
I appears that this new Zoomer (I got it from the 1-800 Tandy number
that was posted here several weeks ago - "Hazel") -- it seems this Zoomer
has gotten something in it making it look for a hard drive. When I reboot
to activate the Expert Plus new configuration - the screen says something
about "Datalight Sparkplug" Version 1.xx - then says Flash Card C=C; and
then I get the DOS error abort/retry/fail over and over filling up the
screen.
The only way I can stop it is to remove All batteries again. But after
doing that and reinstalling the batteries and rebooting that same initial
line is in their. Does anyone know of a different ROM in some of the
Tandy's that could be doing this, and requiring a flash card?
