Hi There:
 
DesTerm attempts to autodetect the presence of either the SwiftLink-
 
232 or HART serial cartridges.  Detection of the HART is foolproof, 
but certain other hardware devices will fool DesTerm2.00 into thinking 
a swiftlink available.  This doesn't crash the machine as such, it 
just means that DesTerm starts sending the init-string but waits forever 
for the transmit holding register to clear.
 
I know the stereo sid causes this problem, but GEOram is a new one 
on me...
 
I think (as of yet unverified) that I have come up with a better way 
of verifying a SwiftLink-232, so in later versions, this problem will 
go away. For the moment, simply disconnect the stereo sid cart or 
GEOram as appropriate -- neither is used by DesTerm anyway.
 
Matt
