Hello!
Well... so I'm trying to put my GT to initialize in width 80 with some set adjust, and then aplying the SET SCREEN command. But, when I turn it off and then on... the old configuration appears!!!
What can I do?
thanks!

Indeed. On the bottom of your turboR you can find a cover under which the batteries that keep the clockchip data can be found. Replace them with ordinary (or rechargeable) penlites and you should be set for a couple of years

Yeah, 2x AA battery, IIRC.

BTW I just noticed, that you can restore the default values by holding ESC down at startup.

By the way, I do not know what happened, but I cannot get that nice big kanji font MSX-DOS mode. Is that related to the fact of having a CF-IDE adapter working?

Is it possible to set it using the SET SCREEN procedure? I am afraid that I do not understand my Turbo-R GT! That is why I am still using my old SANYO MPC-100.

Have you tried CALL KANJI (in BASIC)?

iirc MSX-DOS2.xx has the Kanji stuff in it as well (put DOS2 in a slot in a normal non-Japanese MSX2 and type CALL KANJI in BASIC).

I think that was changed in either MSXDOS2.SYS or some odd setting in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Check the DOS2 disks that came with your Turbo-R, at least one of 'em boots in Kanji mode. I for one liked the 'small' kanji a lot better tho, kanji mode 3 if I remember correctly...

Too bad the Kanji modes are 'a bit' slow and too bad it's interlaced when you want it to look professional...
