I have Supercharger, along with the 1.4 upgrade. I have a few problems
with it, and I have written a total of 4 letters asking for support
to Talon technology, and NONE of them have been answered - the only
time I get any response is when I call them on the phone, and they
promptly try to sell me new software every time I do this. I hate
calling them because my phone bill is getting so high. Any help
would be appreciated.

oh yeah: don't buy from talon unless you live in Solana Beach, since
it's a local call from there!!!!! (I'm getting pretty pissed off at them
now)

1] Does anyone else have the problem where you hit ctrl-s to pause
   output and the entire computer crashes? This happens when I am
   viewing a directory, TYPEing a file, or running GREP, or whatever.
2] does the hotkey work when using a SM124 monitor?
3] This is to people who have the SUPRA hard drive wtih clock -

    The supclkread program that came with supra utilities sends something
through the DMA port which causes the data light on the supercharger
to light up - and this crashes the computer as well.
    With the 1.4 upgrade, there is a QUIET.PRG which prevents programs
from accidentally talking to the supercharger, and this makes it possible
for me to boot up my ST without holding down the RESET button on the
supercharger, but it also prevents SUPCLKREAD from reading in the time
from the hard disk.

    Has anyone out there written a supra clock reader program which
behaves properly so that I can install QUIET.PRG and still read in the
proper time?

Thanks in advance !!
