      @Bread-And-Roses You'd need WinSCP to get there, the file is not accessible via file shares. Once you enable SSH, WinSCP will show you all the files in the system - including the log file I mentioned.

          Okay, I'm trying to get this to work, but when WinSCP asks for my username during the "prompting for credentals" connection phase, I can't seem to figure that out. =/

                ^this is what you are typing? And to confirm you did enable ssh before attempting to use winscp correct?

                    @Bread-And-Roses mitu will be able to confirm but it looks like your exec.bin bios is no good.

                      Yeah.... I've tried it from a few sources. Is it hard to get hands on a good exec.bin file?

                        @Bread-And-Roses it's been a while since I set up intellivision but if I remember correctly I did have to search a bit to find bios that we're functional.

                          You need the correct exec.bin. The one I know works is

                          exec.bin - 8kb in size
                          CRC = CBCE86F7

                            That's the one I'm using. :/

                              is it in the right location?

                                @Bread-And-Roses can you confirm that its exec.bin and not EXEC.bin? Case matters.

                                  Lowercase, in the BIOS folder.
                                  [EDIT: actually, it was Exec.bin.... for some damn reason the first letter was capitalized and even as I replaced it with other versions all in lowercase, it kept the first letter capitalized. I deleted and replaced it with an all lowercase exec.bin and it works now! Thanks so much!]
