It initially comes on, displays the ">" prompt and the cursor blinks, so I shut off to add modules via the Port Config dialog. I add a 32K RAM module to port-0 and HP-IL (I assume using the standard HP-IL ROM) to port-6, then save config. When I then power-on, the prompt ">" appears, but no cursor; I must then press [ON] twice to get a blinking cursor.

From there, VER$ works, MEM shows 66092, but CAT crashes immediately, as does any activity which needs more than the 1st line of the LCD.

The 800x600 version seems to be more stable, however I see nothing in the 2nd line.

I'm testing on Win7-Pro x64.

I'll try some more tomorrow, but wanted to get you some feedback as early as possible. Please suggest some things to try that may reveal more about the issues.

Update: Yes there is a problem.
I was doing all my tests with an existing e72 state file, but when I try to open a "New" kml, yes I can see the crash.
I'm investigating, in the meantime don't waste your time on it.
