Jim, this could be a normal startup with the non-autoatart ROM.
In this case, you would Control-Reset to get into the BASIC ROM,
then type PR#6, or whatever number slot the boot drive is in,
and that's it. If you install an autostart ROM in F8, then it
would startup, and look for the first slot with a boot drive and
disk in place.
So, I would have to say, no, not a fault, rather a feature that
the seller is not aware of.
That's kind of what I was hoping :-)
