I'm running a rev B ][e with either a CPS Multifunctin or a Apricorn Super
Serial board.

I got this message with both boards.  With the CPS board I was able to patch
the Basic code to ignore the message and everything worked fine.  With the
Super Serial board this did not work and the program would either crash
or (if patched) hang strangly (eg. everytime I type a key it would do one
more thing (like line by line clear the screen)).

Ascii Express works fine with both boards.
