I received my Node 256k unit, installed same, and it worked exaxtly as expected, the first time! The only thing that was not crystal clear was the way to clear the "hook" memory if you execute a .ba program from the rambank. The way I've come up with is a 1 line basic program that has 1{menu as it's program line. Execute this by putting the cursor over the program name while at the expanded ram's file menu. That does it. Otherwise, your main memory (original 24/32k) is decreased by the size of the last basic program run. This is the only thing that was not perfectly clear in the instructions. Another slight imcompatability is with Node and Ultrascreen. If you enter the rambnk from main 100 memory with the small screen selected, the computer beeps at you and the only way to regain control is to reset. So remember to turn Ultrascreen off before entering expanded memory. It is strange to have em8, sxm, a word processor in basic that takes 8k, and still hve 203k free for whatever! Mark /ex
