After installing my Incognito board, and seeing how superior the 800's video is (you were right, guys), the 800 has now become my primary machine.
I had a PAL ANTIC that I put in my 1200XL (my former main machine) for maximum software compatibility, and tonight I moved it into the 800 for the same reason. It seems to work fine, but has a strange side effect that did not occur in my 1200XL. Now when I power on the 800, I get a black screen for about 10 seconds before the machine will boot. Doesn't matter if I have a cart installed or not, disk or not, etc. The same thing happens whenever I press the Reset key. Is this normal? Any thoughts on what would cause this?
