Well, I got Leiges old MP, its old, but has 8 outs and a good screen. Lately tho, been kinda ghostin out on me. The 16 levels has goo, so it will sometimes act up, but the wierdest things happen when I dont use 16 llevels
The problom is this, when I hit more than 1 function, say I go into sequence edit and exit it quickly, ille get a screen with a bunch of letters and numbers, with 2 choices at f5 and f6, they say Tr. Mode and OS Vers. I can check the os version and the other one doesnt work, but it will not go back to my main screen and ille have to power it off. Anyone know what this is?

is it hot when this has happened, like weather hot. that seemed to be the case when it happened to me, it just don't agree with heat and working fast..

not sp hot, nfact I never keep my room above 70 degrees, most the time its actually more like 60-65(i work in the cold) And it seems to not happen when the machines warmed up. Is there a way around this bug? Im also on OS version 1.12

The screen with the numbers is an untrapped error and all you can do is off/on to clear it.
Programmers will know exactly what the numbers mean but you wont.

I've seen the numbers also, but it's been a long while and I don't move fast when making stuff.
Having only one level of undo makes me move slower and more cautious anyway, lol.

Re-install the OS if it makes you feel better. You've stated you were on 1.12 many
times on these boards now so obviously it's bothering you, just move on to 1.14.

I'll throw my 2 cents in with your os recomendation and say I'd recommend only using 1.20 if you have no choice. And that would only be if you bought an IDE card reader. Otherwise, stick with 1.14 since that has the partitioning capability and allows you to use SCSI drives larger than 1GB. Using 1.14 with our CF-CARD drive allows you to use all of an 8GB CF card and that's a lot of storage!
