 Re: Shift+Run/Stop?

Shift + Run/Stop loads the first file on a diskette when you're using a C16 or Plus/4.... not the first file on the Datasette like a C64 or VIC-20.

Does the power light come on? You could have bad power supplies. C16s run on 9 volts, not a dual 9v/5v setup like a 64 or Plus/4. Also check the fuse on the motherboard.

Use a monitor cable from your 64 setup to bypass the C16's tuner. If you get a picture there, then the problem is in the RF unit .... not TED.

An autostart cartridge (like one of the Scott Adams games, or Jack Attack) will bypass BASIC and part of the Kernal.... handy for diagnosing startup issues like a bad BASIC Low ROM.
