I've got many disks with accessories, AUTO programs, etc. Sometimes
when I boot up with such a floppy (I'd guess about 10% of the time) I
get the computer loading a few of the accessories, but then doing a
cold or warm boot in the middle. It's like someone hitting the reset
switch during bootup before the GEM Desktop appears.
I use the BICLOCK.PRG program that came with Thunder! to set the time,
and sometimes I have to set the clock 3 or 4 times because after setting
it, the computer starts over.
I also "follow the rules" (i.e. no more than 6 *.ACC's, only *.PRG
files in my AUTO folder, etc.) The main problem occurs with my
1st Word disk, in which I have in my AUTO folder the BICLOCK.PRG and
IDLE12.PRG, and my accessories are CALENDAR.ACC, THUNDER.ACC,
SIRAM.ACC (ramdisk - not set, and printer spooler - 64K). I've also
got 1 Meg so memory might no be the problem. Anyone else have this
happen frequently?
