Off course not Clocky.. Only connect the pins I said. Also A14 must not be inserted. Pin 27 is also connected to VCC.. :-) Regards, SAM

Was driving me crazy because I could get the Background/Border Colors and that was it..My guess is because A13 was NOT in the socket is what the whole problem was.

You are right, A13 must be connected for a 16 Kb configuration. If it's not connected you only load the first 8 Kb (the kernal) and not the second 8 Kb (basic) so you got a normal blue screen without text. SAM |
