Hmm. I wonder if I have declared success too early. After all the great advances of the last few weeks, I think I may have gone backwards.

At power on now, I get one of the two attached screens - right now I can't get past the random characters screen (ignore the stripes - they're not there on the actual screen). If I get the other READY prompt with a weird amount of memory free, it accepts commands, but none of them actually work and I get syntax errors.

Confused of Perth.
