Hi. Wow: thanks for such a quick reply!

Quite right, apologies. I meant the former, ST TOS 1.04.

I did this ... and ..it's worked! Marvellous! Thanks so much!
Clearly there's something awry in my cfg.
It's a bit late today to do much further investigation, but I will systematically put bits of my cfg back in an see what throws it: I must have chosen some inappropriate/incompatible bits no doubt. I'll report back in case its of interest.

No, I cant be sure, I guess I was meaning that the files involved, the TOS.img and the .st disk image were the things the same. I can see that opens many doors for ruining a meaningful comparison.

Understood, apologies for the implication.

Thanks very much again!

I wondered if there might be some interesting hardware-specfic magic going on. But I severely lack the skills to diagnose this sort of thing myself :(
