It uses 1 slot and will hold from 128k to 3.0mb of memory (user expandable), has standard 1 serial port, 1 printer port and optional second serial port and game port. It also uses a slit memory with a hole from 640k to 1mb. The thing struck me as odd was the mention of a hole in their memory addressing from 640k to 1mb. (their numbers). While this hole makes sense for a PC-DOS machine does it make sense for the AT when it is in protected mode? IBM has memory cards of up to 1mb. with no mention of such a hole. Is such a hole needed when in protect mode? Would anyone care to predict how Xenix will handle that? Larry Pajakowski ihnp4!tellab1!extel!larry
