Ron,
I haven't tried anything on the IDE connection yet. (I need to
refill my piggy bank.) I haven't even tested the extra parallel and
serial ports yet. Fortunately, the small 13" multisync works fine.
The memory manager that came with DRDOS 6.0 was clobbering the 386
bridgeboard (BB). Evidently, upper memory is sensitive to
unauthorized or unknowing poking around! Running the BB with no
memory manager or with the Janus EMM.SYS works. I wish I could get
some more memory freed up in conventional memory. My SuperStor
driver from Addstor takes up 50K. Norton Commander V3.0 takes up
12K. Anyway, I cannot run WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS in graphics mode
due to lack of memory. At least it runs nicely in text mode. I
cannot use an alternate configuration in which I don't use the
Addstor compression software because WordPerfect is on the compressed
D: drive. I left my boot drive C: uncompressed just in case I had
trouble with the SuperStor stuff.
Sincerely,
(Mr.) Gayle Lee Fairless
