	I have a mach5 cartridge fast loader which I purchased
about a year ago. It is not the "NEW" version which is listed
as being compatlble with the 64/128 and the 1541. My mach5
"works" with my 64/1541 but does not boot-up with my 128/1541.
The screen remains dark and the keyboard does not function.
Is it because I have an old version or is my 128 expansion
port bad? I use the Epyx fast load cartridge in the port and
it seems to work,i.e.it boots up in the 64mode and the functions
seen to work. Can my expansion port still be bad and is there
any way I could test it out to be sure? I do not use the disk
that came with the cartridge as it was not useful to me. While
using my C64, the disk  was not necessary for my applications.

				Thanks,
				Steve M.
