I really can't think of what else to check. Your RAM is testing good now, right?

Have you tried to connect the console I/O and the Terminal both at the same time? You can do this, and just watch the input from the other device. When you run DIR on the console I/O you should see the same output on both. Same goes for input from the terminal. > > > > The reason I prefer the terminal, is because you can use Martin's X-Modem in CP/M to upload/download files to the disk image. > > > > Yes, it would be nice to write some software that will read/write to the image files directly from windows, I just don't have the 16 hours to do this.
