Do you have the manuals? You'll need to check the port definitions that are
set via jumpers on the open DIPs near the back of the motherboard.
Also, I seem to recall that North Star DOS was generated for a specific RAM
size -- I believe it's top-resident. A DOS set up for 16K would work on 32K
or 48K, but not vice versa.

Ok, I have a few minutes now to play around with the N* Horizon
I've been fixing up. I've tried to power it up and it seems to hit the
disk drive and then nothing. I've plugged some spare terminals into
the port marked "Video Terminal Port" and played with baud rates
and other comm settings but get nothing on any of my terminals.
Also tried straight through and flipped comm cables. Can
someone give me some info on these and maybe walk me through
getting it set up and running so I can check and see if I've missed
something? Oh, I'm trying both N*DOS 5.2 and N* CP/M 2.2.
Thanks.
