Baffles me; I have one of the earliest SwiftLink-232's, and its switch is
right there in the hole next to the part of the label where the switch
settings are marked.  Mine has only one label, not two as you said yours
does.  [Make that "as Joel said his does" now that I'm posting instead of
emailing.]

| At least Novaterm doesn't mind that fact that it doesn't have a switch. 

Then it must already be set to NMI; the IRQ setting is only for certain CP/M
terminal programs.

80K in an eighty-column screen?  That would require 103 screen lines.  It's
hard enough to read DesTerm's 52-line mode; I'd hate to think of what 103
must look like.
