You just need to copy the new firmware file - available in the announcement topic - to an sd card and power-cycle the machine ... easy!

Aaaah. That's the second file? Without chips-changing?
It is very interesting then.

So now the most funny question: what the heck it "power-cycle"????????????????????????????????????????????

"Power-cycle the machine" - He means turn it off, wait (about 2 seconds), turn it back on. Also known as "power down/up" and "cold boot". This is different to "reset" as it forces all parts to reset, not just the Z80 MPU.

There are four lights!
Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb :!:
Looking forward to summer later in the year.

OK, so at the moment

- it doesn't RUN files (crash),
- it deletes files but after deleting it show garbage/mess on the window it was in, and another key = crash.

After those crashes it can't be loaded again - the computer must be reset first.

The rest seems to be OK.


Those are notes from me, at the moment. I hope it helps somehow.
