Re: A86: APD

at about $0C29 there is a call to shut down the calculator.  BUT if you do somethings such as :
    res 3,(IY+$08) 
    set 4,(IY+$08) 
or vice versa (no emulator on this computer darn) and then call $0C29 it will
do the APD sequence.  NOTE: there is a call to $0C29 on rom page $0D and that 
is the call you should use.  just search the memory for $CD,$29,$0C on rom page $0D.

But I've even tried resetting all counters before switching it off...

It's doing what it's supposed to do--it turns off the calc when the interrupt is called.  Check for a key press before the APD so that it will only run the APD if a certain key is pressed.  The call getkey (it is what turns the calc off) doesn't wait for a key press before the the APD.
This is only a temporary hack.  I might try to find the real call or...
        maybe you could try to find it.  :?)
