I don't have a Z88 (I nearly did but that's another story) but I do have an Epson HX-20.JezC wrote: 27 Mar 2025 10:39 Does @rubber_jonnie have a Z88?
I'm pretty sure he has the NC100 & NC200...
It's not. I thought I had bad RAM and replaced one, but didn't help. I'm going to get back to it soon and need to break out the scope, but I do wonder if it's a power issue.
So it's more complex than expected...rubber_jonnie wrote: 27 Mar 2025 12:08 It's not. I thought I had bad RAM and replaced one, but didn't help. I'm going to get back to it soon and need to break out the scope, but I do wonder if it's a power issue.
Very much so. It's actually a dual CPU machine and runs off battery, with power only for charging the battery. Basically if you remove the battery you can't run it off the charger.HigashiJun wrote: 27 Mar 2025 12:20So it's more complex than expected...rubber_jonnie wrote: 27 Mar 2025 12:08 It's not.
