Next to it is 'F1' which enables the       cassette (for positioning etc.) F1 is useful.              The relay on a Genie is bigger and more loud so software that play with       it creates quite an effect. I have one breakout that does this (came out       of a magazine, PCW probably).              As I see it the 32 char mode of the Genie is so stupid that I modified       my old Genie so it works like a Model I in this regard. It was at the       same time I widened the characters to 8 pixels, so I was reworking the       divider chain anyway.              Knut              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
