Introduction
Overview
The Z88 software team have been working tirelessly, to bring you the latest and greatest upgrade the Z88 has seen to date, 0Z 4.7.
This version, which uses the RAM intensively, has exposed either a hardware design fault on the board, and/or the specification of the chips used are not fast enough or a software oversight . This affects all versions of OZ 4.x but is only noticeable from OZ 4.6.1 onwards.
It works perfectly on the emulator!
Test Procedure & Results
You are invited to "Send in your results."
This issue is currently being investigated, as some cards work well, whilst others fail.
In the past, these errors have been attributed to
- External card connector being dirty
There is a way to see if the card being used will work before deciding to upgrade or not.
Take part in the testing. See test section.
