I would do that is I knew how. My memory board has several
jumpers and a couple of 8-switch dip switches but I have no doc on
the board so don't know memory settings. It is a 64K board so I
would assume I have a full address space. It is a N* RAM board
BTW.

Good question. These were sent to me by someone on the list.
The disks are 10 sectored (hard) double sided double density. The
controller is an N* Micro Disk Controller MDS-AD or that is all I can
see on it.

The only doc I have is a copy of the N* Monitor doc and the N*DOS
doc. I see the stuff in the N*DOS doc about "personalizing dos".
Any other tips to help out?
Thanks.
