Using RAMTEST3 and RAMTEST5, which load at 3000h and 5000h respectively,
I was able to configure and drop in two more 16k ram boards so I now have
the system up to 48k.

Using some BASIC programs off of Doug Coward's disk I was able to load
and run STARTREK! Woo hoo! I've always loved that game!

Now I just need to figure out one of my many miscellaneous 8k boards
and repair the N* RAM16 A3 board to replace the slightly flakey
RAM16 A3 board in the machine currently. Then I'll have 56k. Perhaps
then I'll be able to load and use CP/M 2.2. =-D
