Well Robert,

I get the same results as you  on every /device I have.
Error 214:No Permission

Megaread Ident:

Header for:  MegaRead
Module size: $007A    #122
Module CRC:  $A5A49C (Good)
Hdr parity:  $51
Data Size:   $04D2    #1234
Edition:     $01      #1
Ty/La At/Rv: $11 $82
Exec. off:   $0016    #22
Prog mod, 6809 obj, re-en, R/O

Just for grins, I tried an old version of megaread I know I have used in 
the past, way past.......

It also gives an error 214

It's ident is:

Header for:  MegaRead
Module size: $0034    #52
Module CRC:  $FE97D8 (Good)
Hdr parity:  $1C
Exec. off:   $0016    #22
Data Size:   $04C8    #1224
Edition:     $01      #1
Ty/La At/Rv: $11 $81
Prog mod, 6809 obj, re-en, R/O

So it is something system wide?  and not megaread itself?


Any how just wanted to let you know your not loosing it. :-)
