I made a little progress on my Apple Access/Microsoft Softcard bug (the one
where on booting, I would get garbage all over the second screen, and the
boot never finished).  (running self-test, and then immediately booting
avoids the problem)

For one thing, it's not the Microsoft Softcard IIe (80-column, 64K, CP/M) at
fault.  I replaced it by a borrowed Quadram 80-column 64K card, and the same
thing happened.  I tried it on a IIc, and the problem did not happen at all.

Has anyone else run this program on a IIe?  Does it work for other people?

Now I'm thinking there may be some sort of timing problem which may go away
if I use a faster chip somewhere, but I have no idea where to look.  I have
no idea what Apple Access does to provoke the problem.

I would appreciate any ideas anyone has.  Thanks.
