When I run Uniterm 2.0c on my mega 2 with the blitter on, the program hangs up
or crashes. But if I turn off the blitter everything goes fine. I typically
run Uniterm from the GPshell (a Unix shell) with only the control panel and the
STart file selector as memory resident programs. I may have the GPshell's built
in ram disk and disk cache program running as well from time to time.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it possibly an incompatibility problem of
Uniterm with the blitter, or is my blitter buggy. An alternative question is,
what list of programs should the blitter work well with and which programs are
incompatible. (i.e Can anyone offer a suggestion for a good 'blitter test'?)
I would like to find out if the blitter is having problems as soon as possible
because my warranty is nearly up.
Please e-mail me directly if possible, since we only receive the digest and it
would take quite a bit of time before I'll see the responses otherwise.
Thanks,
Don Petcher
