Re: A85: RAM FAIL
yeah, I got that a week ago for the first time. hehehe. I was also using
Usgard but in defence of this new lovely shell, other people have
experienced this WAY BEFORE Usgard was ever dreamed up. Also, on my calc
the RAM FAIL message sat there for a sec or two, then the calc reset
itself. How nice. See even TI built a calc. better then a mac. When a mac
crashes you have to click "ok" to restart, same in Win95, but TI obviously
made a much wiser system =) Hehe. anyway, any non-buggy program will not
have this RAM FAIL problem in Usgard, ZShell, etc. This message only
occurs when something REALLY wrong occurs in the asm program. There are,
as any ASM programmer knows, MANY reasons as to why exactly this occured.
