I recently purchased an SX-64 (a portable also know as the "Executive 64", manufactured by Commodore and discontinued). I of course wanted the CP/M option, which was difficult to scrounge up at this late date. But I won. Anyway, I seemed to have heat problems with the cartridge, and after an afternoon with a can of chip freeze, I isolated one errant chip and replaced it. Now it seems to cruze along okay, but after 20 or 30 minutes of work, sometimes more, it dies right as I do a disk I/O. So I wasted another can of chip freeze to no avail, and now I'm wondering if the SX-64 maybe just doesn't have as much power available as a real '64. Can somebody vouch for CBM-64 CP/M ? How about on an SX-64 ? Thanks in advance. Richard Secrist SECRIST%OAK.SAInet.MFEnet@LLL-MFE.Arpa - - - "Hackito Ergo Sum." (I hack, therefore I am.)
