while i was doing that looks like you've made progress on the cause. Nice one guys
Yeah, it's gone well! I've now updated both the standard and flicker-free variants of Electron Elite with the fix, and they all seem to be working fine for me on Elkulator. Fingers crossed that they work on the real hardware too - let me know!
You can download the updated SSDs and UEFs from the usual place:
https://www.bbcelite.com/electron/releases.html
Turns out that the UEFs were also affected, so I've updated all four images.
Assuming that these work properly, you should be able to fix the sideways RAM version by simply copying the ELITE file from either of the updated SSDs onto the sideways RAM disc, overwriting the ELITE that is already there. I've tried that on Elkulator and it works fine, so hopefully it will work on the real thing.
Also, the reason that your testing on the sideways RAM version was giving strange results is because I gave you the wrong advice - it should have been CHAIN "ELITESW" rather than CHAIN "ELITE". Sorry about that!

I've made another effort and managed to adapt Mark's flicker free version to make use of SWRAM.
haerfest, if you see this, then you might like to update your sideways RAM version with the latest version of $.ELITE-cassette.bin and $.ELITE-disc.bin from my repository, as they include the *FX 15 fix (without this, the equipment and cargo screens don't work). Simply replacing them in your repository should fix the bug in the sideways RAM version too. If you'd like me to submit a PR for this, I'll happily do that - just let me know!
