Okay, so I've lifted most of the chips, lots of contact cleaned etc and re-seated. Didn't really make a difference.
So, if I'm in 32k mode, and run a basic program (hello world) for example, the screen scrolls and then might go "corrupt", parts missing or flashing colour. If I break, and do "old", I might get the program back, or I might get an error. The program might come back adapetd - eg the text missing from the ""print" statement. Sometimes the program crashes with an unknown command error. It's all a bit random.
For example changing to mode 4, I see no text. I can type old, then run, and I'll get some scrolling text, it's scrolling very fast, but 1/2 of teh text looks yellow.
Any other modes I choose, the main change might flash some corrupt characters, some of the modes I can type and see the text. Others I can type but can't see the text. In mode 1, soe text looks to be missing, I f I keep hitting escape, I might get escape on the left of the screen, 10 characters in, or 5 characters in. the scrolling looks a bit funny.
In Mode 3, nothing is displayed on screen - if I hit return 13(ish) times, i get ">" and the cursor, but the ">" also starts to appear on the top half of the screen - but about 10 characters in.
If I run in 16k mode, either high or low, a hello world program seems to work fine, but no other mode seems to work (I assume as it's 16k thats expected?)
