1. Spectre 128

I finally received my Spectre 128 to graduate from Magic Sac. However, any
programs that require 128K ROMs (EXCEL 1.5 and HYPERCARD) will not run on
either my Mega 2 or my 1040ST. I get the message that a system error has
occurred (#26 I believe). This is definitely a pain since I bought Spectre to
run 128K codes.

I phoned Gadgets by Small and was greeted with Christmas music and the
message that Gadgets is closed until January 3, 1989. Jeez, I really want to
play with HYPERCARD over the holidays and I would REALLY appreciate it if
ANYONE can give me a clue as to why the codes that need 128K ROMs will not
run (Oh yes, Red Ryder 7.0 will not run under Spectre either and I really
need a telecomm code to talk to our VAX). PLEASE, anyone - HELP!!!!!!!!!!

2. LDW POWER

In only three weeks of use, LDW Power has managed to destroy three different
worksheets during saves. Big chunks of my sheets have been vapourized (have
the gone to the same place as the TT or the ATW?). Has anyone else had LDW
blow away parts of sheets?

Quick answers to these questions would be highly appreciated.

P.S. Does anyone know why UNITERM requires a numeric keypad key to be followed
     by <cr> on my 1040 yet one is supplied automatically on my Mega?
