ZX-Uno

Hi,

I've got an interesting issue with the ZX-Uno XL I received some days ago.

Problem: Using the ZX-Uno XL an SD card including the data you provided to me the "." commands and the menu is working fine as long as I use .tap files for example. Trying to load a basic program that is stored directly to the SD card doesn't work.

Example: works fine.

Trying to load a BASIC program that is stored on the card doesn't work.
isn't accepted as a command. The result is a flashing "?" behind the "*".
(can't "flash" the ? and the L)

All other "*"'s used in basic commands are not accepted. This is independent from typing in the command or using the Browser to load the basic program. Using the NMI menu the result is the same as described above. The same "LOAD *-Error" is shown.

I'm using a ZX-Uno XL (Issue 2c) running the Spectrum Core "EXP25-070917" and esxDOS "v0.8.6" and an SD card with the data provided by the seller.

On a ZX-Uno 2M VGA running the Spectrum Core "EXP25-070917" and esxDOS "v0.8.6" everything is working fine.

Any suggestion what is the problem?

Thanks for info.

I think it only fails on 0.8.6. Seems these routines have been erased on that version. On 0.8.5 it works
It has also been answered before in this forum, you can search it

Cheers

But I also have v0.8.6 on my ZX-Uno 2M VGA where it works...

Don't worry, It's a well know problem. With esxdos-0.8.6-beta5 and esxdos-0.8.6-beta5.1 the LOAD * don't work. You must use esxdos-0.8.6-beta4 or UnoDOS3

Thanks for the info.

How will I get it onto my Uno?

As I'm using my Uno for fiddling around with Sinclair stuff the "*" commands are essential for me...

It's on the FAQ:

Here you will find esxdos 0.8.6-beta4 : http://svn.zxuno.com/svn/zxuno/software/esxdos/ [User: guest / Pass: zxuno]
