On a similar subject, could anyone out there comment on any diagnostics programs for the //'s (I'm particularly interested in anything for the 8-bit //'s as I have a //c). I have heard of Master Diagnostics from Nikrom, but have no clue as to whether it's worth it or not. Matt's comment on the imperfection of diagnostics software may be valid, but I'm convinced that any diagnostics software would be helpful, especially when you have an extinct brand of computer, the //c :-) Andrew Guillaume Internet : a.guillaume@trl.oz.au
