Good morning Mark,

I just looked at the MEM report of my first setup for DV, including a
Hitachi CD drive. I had 616 kb memory free (630......bytes).
That CD drive reminds of my trials yesterday to get the operating sys-
tem to recognise all five CD's of my Nakamichi 5-disk changer.
Previously, when that drive was alone, all five disks were recognised,
but now I added a Plexwriter CD/RW drive and since then only one disk
is usable (the first one) of the changer. All five disks do show up at
boot-up, including the CD/RW.
I'll have to open up the box of worms an check SCSI id jumpers, even
though I carefully did that at the mechanical installation.
ml> not all memory cards would back fill the base 1024k of RAM,
ml> either...
I never had any reson to use those memory cards.
ml> i dont' remember what mine were... i should still have them laying
ml> about around here somewhere... i've been thinking about tossing up a
ml> virtual machine and seeing if it will run DV with QEMM... if that
ml> back filling of the memory hole thing works, it should be ok :)
Just yesterday I dug up a copy of the QEMM floppy and copied the files
to the "new" BBS machine I'm setting up.
Have a nice day,
Holger
