Kogden: Thankx, I'll keep you in mind in that case!

I am going to have to get a few of these!

Kogden: Not a problem, I just went with sloopy because he's handy with the soldering iron.


For those reading, I did want to point out that this 800XL has a PAL Antic installed, though that has been in there for a while now and never effected the 320Xl before.

Metal: Fear not, I put in good practice before taking this one on.

Here's what happened last night. I went home and took one of my 320XL's out of their casing and plugged it into the back of my 800XL.

At first the light on the 320XL stayed on, but the system would not boot, again it only showed graphical garbage or a black screen.

I removed it, tried the other, but the light on it went out immediately. I then put the other 320XL back on, but it's light went out too.

I then tried to boot the 800XL without the ram expansion, but I only got a black screen. I tried again, only to boot to a yellow screen, and then a blue screen, but with no cursor.

It stayed this way each time there after so I removed the Stereo MOD completely.

This resolved nothing.

I then went on to push all my chips down, rechecked my connects, and this and that, which in the end still did nothing.

I then decided to put the MOD back on and screw the case back together....

After this it began to work again, but only without the RAM expansion.

I have to admit that the symptoms I am experiencing sound a lot like those found in the stabilization MOD articles.

Sloopy, I'm going to send you a PM, maybe you might want to look at the whole unit for me?

kogden: Thank you for the offer, but let me check with sloopy first.

It used to work on the 600, but after they were plugged into the 800xl, no.

At present I have no other machines to test on. Perhaps I could mail them to someone for this purpose?
