Topic: Saving BASIC program resets the ZX Spectrum

Hi,
I am using a board "DivMMC EnJOY! PRO MINI lite" on a 48K ZXSpectrum+. With it I have two more devices connected. In the direction from the edge connecter outward I have : ZX-HD from bytedelight, ZX-AY from byte delight, and the DivMMC last.

I am entering basic code on the machine. Regularly I save the program to a .TAP file by doing :
.tapeout prgname.tap
SAVE "hd0"
And then keep on entering code and saving.
After some saves, when I do the .tapeout, the machine reboots, and the memory cleared (like if I did a NEW on it).
I have to disconnect the power to the ZX Spectrum to get it going again.

Seems to me this is a bug. I am on firmware version 0.8.7.
Is there any way I can go around this, or should I upgrade the firmware ?

Thanks for any help.
Regards

Re: Saving BASIC program resets the ZX Spectrum

Hi,
I put the SD card in a Windows PC, and it was unreadable. Now I don't know if it was the board that corrupted it or not. Anyway I re-formatted the card, and am using it normally, saving and loading the TAP files with the BASIC code to see if it happens again.
Regards

Hi,

first thing you should try is indeed upgrade to actual FW 0.8.9.
