I recently have run into a problem, after not using my old upgraded
400 for a few months.  I tried to write a program in BASIC on the
old standard BASIC CARTRIDGE.  BUT! If I put a statement requiring
any mathematics at all, the program freezes up.  SO what I was wondering
is if anyone else had this problem, and if so how did they fix it.

My guess is that the EPROM's on the cartridge have some how been altered.
Thus a possible fix would be to re-burn them.  (Or just buy a new
cartridge)

Now Problem #2.
A few years ago, I got a good deal on a touch tablet for the atari.
It is one made by CHALKBOARD INC.,  I have one software cartridge
for it and wish I could develope some more.  (The name of this tablet
is the Power Pad.)  Of course the company folded, leaving me with no one
to contact.  If anyone has an idea of how the thing might work, or
who to contact about it, I would appreciate some mail.
