>> I dumped the rom as a 16k.   When it was done I ran 'PRGFLASH.BAS'.   Typed the name CASTLE.   The computer just locked up and displayed random characters.   I thought that I needed to convert the bin so I tryed coNv2bin.   When I entered the name of the dumped rom. 'castle' it said the bin was greater than 16k and needed to be split?   Even though the dump was set to 16k?

Also, I do suggest powering the computer off and back on before attempting to program the CoCo Flash. The dumprom program does some funky stuff with some of the control registers and it appears my attempt to reset the computer when it’s done is not quite working yet.
