In message 13572 I stated where I left off in trying to get my CoCo to work the
way it ought to.  Now my main problem is going to be getting it to work at all.
I am now absolutely 100% down and if it weren't for my access to a Macintosh I
couldn't be on CIS now.  I have lost the ability to power up into tape BASIC
(let alone DECB) and the ability to run a ROMpak.  The ability to run tape
BASIC was next-to-the-last to go (before I lost everything) so I'm suspecting
total failure of the 6809.  The VDG chip seems OK as does the power supply.  It
may be a while before I have another CoCo 3 (can't pick one up at RS anymore
and I've never seen one in the local classifieds). I can still check into the
forums for message traffic but nothing else, and this is the way it is going to
be for some unknown, indefinite period of time.
