Takao: main control board communication error

[lotsoballs]

thank you @lotsoballs - turning the settings key and restarting the machine fixed it somehow.

No problem! Yeah; as I’ve learned; if you have cell with that settings key; you must reset using the key or just pressing down the reset button upon startup won’t reset anything.

It seems a RAM error from not being pugged in for weeks/months will often trigger a settings reset. Also happens each time you cell swap which is kind of annoying.

Most older machines will just go into error mode for 60 seconds if there was a RAM error then clear the error/beeping automatically; but not if it’s got that settings key… endless error message and beeping till you reset with the key!
