Jim,
My TT runs a 1.16a kernel. I installed it long before 1.16b was
released so it's not as late model as it could be. I'm going to get a
working system running on my good TT with 1.16a and I'll tar it up and
send it to you for you to try. Sad thing is, this seems like it could
be an Atari hardware flakiness thing that nobody will ever figure out.
This is same reason why MagiC runs great for select people with extra
stable hardware but not for me on any of my machines ever ;) Things
don't seem to work on our machines like on PC's ;).
I know my one TT has a problem with keyboard. Have to unplug and plug
it in several times in order to get it working. The keyboard LED
flickers and lights very weakly suggesting a voltage problem. I
replaced psu and also tried plenty of different keyboards and resoldered
some joins so I'm down to component level replacement on MB. Luckily I
have 2 TT's to compare voltage readings at different points.
But, you might be able to turn off MP by going in with a text editor
into C:\{mint folder}\mint.ini and modifying the flags. I don't
remember the format but it's prety easy to understand. It should be the
first item in there. I never had good luck with MP on any of my
systems. My falcon is ALMOST MP compliant but Jinnee doesn't like it.
Thanks,
Mark
