Narrative:
New airspace confign in effect for 3 days. Fdio computer problems prevented fp strips on several aircraft causing confusion. Sector combined and saturated. Supervisor unwilling to split position. Aircraft taken handoff of needed beacon code change from one center to another. Aircraft squawked incorrect code, causing tag to drop. Other traffic sits diverted my attention away from this situation causing aircraft to come within 1 mi of adjacent facility's airspace prior to being turned/handed off.

Title: NEW AIRSPACE IN EFFECT AT GSO CAUSED SOME CONFUSION RESULTING IN AN ACFT TO COME WITHIN 1 MI OF ADJACENT FACILITY BOUNDARY.
Narrative: NEW AIRSPACE CONFIGN IN EFFECT FOR 3 DAYS. FDIO COMPUTER PROBS PREVENTED FP STRIPS ON SEVERAL ACFT CAUSING CONFUSION. SECTOR COMBINED AND SATURATED. SUPVR UNWILLING TO SPLIT POS. ACFT TAKEN HDOF OF NEEDED BEACON CODE CHANGE FROM ONE CTR TO ANOTHER. ACFT SQUAWKED INCORRECT CODE, CAUSING TAG TO DROP. OTHER TFC SITS DIVERTED MY ATTN AWAY FROM THIS SIT CAUSING ACFT TO COME WITHIN 1 MI OF ADJACENT FACILITY'S AIRSPACE PRIOR TO BEING TURNED/HANDED OFF.
