Hello Erik,

Tony's response to your post was right on. I would like to add that
the MITS boot eprom must be located at 177400 (or FF00H) to
work correctly.

So in your case, all switches should be off to locate the card at
360 000 to 377 377 (F000 to FFFF) in the last 4k block. The
DBL eprom should then be in the last socket (highest addressable
socket) of the eprom card.

Once things are configured correctly, you should be able to set
the front panel switches to FF00, hit 'Examine', and then hit 'Run' ...
at which point the drive should enable, the head should load, and
then an attempt to read the boot tracks (0-5 is typical for MITS
software) should proceed.


Best regards,

Scott
