Hi,

things were differents with older versions) and equally with this verion
(2.4), I have observed a strange behaviour with the TOS 2.06 (and ONLY with
this version) :

That's very odd, the only time I have ever seen anything like that is when
extended monitor is turned on and there isn't enough memory for it, but that
isn't what is happening for you. All my versions of TOS 2.06 work fine.
My only idea is it could be an ST virus or bootup program that isn't working
properly. Try removing all disk images from the drives, turning off all hard
drives and removing the cartridge (if you have one inserted). Now cold reset
(left click on reset) and run, if that doesn't work then I am very confused.
Good luck,
Russell Hayward
