<strong>The</strong> <strong>TORCH</strong> <strong>Graduate</strong> <strong>User</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> <strong>1.00</strong>, <strong>Nov</strong> <strong>1984</strong><br />

Where XXX is the version number of the software you are using.<br />

If this fails to appear, check the following points :<br />

Check that any network feature of the BBC Computer is<br />

not being used and is totally unplugged.<br />

Check that the GRADUATE is connected properly to the<br />

1Mhz Bus socket on the underside of the BBC computer.<br />

Check that the correct MS-DOS system disc is in the top<br />

drive and is properly inserted and locked in.<br />

Check that the GRADUATE is properly connected to a 240V<br />

50 Hz. AC mains outlet.<br />

Press BREAK to try loading the system from disc again.<br />

If the message 'BBC Computer' appears as usual then there is<br />

likely to be one of the following faults with the system :<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Graduate</strong> is not connected to the BBC Microcomputer<br />

correctly<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Graduate</strong> is not connected properly to its power<br />

outlet or there may be blown fuses.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re may be a fault in the BBC microcomputer 1MHz bus<br />

interface logic. If you have any other peripherals which use<br />

this bus check the BBC microcomputer is functioning correctly<br />

with them. If all is OK with them there may still be a fault<br />

in the interface but it is much less likely. Consult your BBC<br />

dealer/supplier if you have such a problem.<br />

If the message 'Data Technologies DFS' appears at the top of<br />

the screen, then you have inserted the wrong system disc to run the<br />

MS-DOS system.<br />

If the system still fails to 'BOOT', then there may be an<br />

internal fault on either the BBC microcomputer or the <strong>Graduate</strong> unit<br />

and you should contact your local dealer/supplier.<br />
