Were the processors of these two versions the same? >i dont have my Micro here with me but i do recall that the SP key was to set up >a position Ok, that makes sense - sort of a Problem Mode. One strange difference is that the lower version has three positions, On, Off and Save, while the version I have has only two, On and Save/Off. I think it goes into the Save mode, and not off, if a game is still in progress, and if you want to turn it off you have to hit NG (new game) first. > >as to the levels... > >i am going from memory here but it would be only one of two ways > >the Micro had 64 levels of play > >i think if you press the LV key followed by a number 1-64(look at the keys and >you will see the numbers next to the letters..A1..B2..etc)then the EN key it >should change the level > Yes, that is the way it works. >sorry i cant say what the different levels are from memory > When I was blindly changing the levels, not knowing what they meant, I ran into some where the computer would not move, unless I forced it to with the MO key. These are no doubt two-person modes. What I have not been able to determine is what the order of the levels are. Thanks for clearing up so much of this. I know this is a very low level computer, but I really hate to have mysteries about anything. Dick Schneiders
