I've currently upgraded a 1200XL to 256K using the article from the
september issue of Byte. Their upgrade covered the 800XL. Now, here's
the problem. When we run Ramsgl or Ramdbl and format a drive, the
screen turns to blue and white horizontal stripes from top to bottom.
The rest of the computer works fine, it's just when we try to access
the extra ram for ramdisk that it seems to fail and lock-up. We're
using the source code mentioned in the Byte article, and I feel that
may be the problem. Has anyone else made this upgrade to the 1200XL?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Once we get a working
machine, I'll summarize and post. Thanks again.
