Ah, you may need more memory for that. The Lifeboat NS* dist for 1.4
needs 4k more, they sorta grafted the NS* dos to the BIOS as disk
drivers so it's a bit fat. I bought the 1.4 copy way back when (it was
new release then).

Assuming its for a NS* Horizon it will be personalized for the default
NS*
IO addresses. HOWEVER... it was also distributed without IO
personalization. You will need NS* dos and one of the monitors or do
it from the front pannel. I know I did that using the first machine
(altair)
before I moved to a real NS* horizon. DOCs for that version are a must
or hope there is a readable example on disk.
