Alan,
Set the switches as follows:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1
where 1 is ON and 0 is OFF (ON = UP and OFF = DOWN). Jumper immediately
above the DIP switch should have jumpers on 4 and 7. On jumpers
immediately below the battery (round thing at top middle) should be left as
they come from the factory except that you should either disable LPT1 by
removing the jumper or move it to LPT2. If you don't have any memory in
the board, then you should 256 x 1 chips in the left most bank and 64 x 1
chips in the other two banks. The DIP switch settings will provide
backfill for 128k memory to bring the BB from 512 to 640k. If you want a
copy of the docs I can run a xerox for you if you will send me a stamped,
self-addressed large envelope. The docs are pretty extensive. Do you have
the software, too? To use the clock you must run ASTCLOCK. You need to
run it in resident mode initially to set the clock. Do ASTCLOCK /R. Then
run DATE and TIME and set current date and time. Then reboot, but only run
ASTCLOCK without the /R in your autoexec.bat. Hope this helps.
