I then got an Intel Above Board Plus (2MB), disabled system memory from 256k thru 640k, set the intel board (via soft switches) to insert itself into the 256k thru 640k conventional address space, with all this being mappable addresses, and the rest as expanded memory. I'm able to load the comm program 1st, and a whole bunch of other programs next. Each of the 'other' programs are limited to <=380k or so, but they seem to fit ok. The comm program never swaps, and for the most part, neither do the other programs. I was able to do a binary file transfer while playing with a spreadsheet. I'm happy. Thanks, to the people who responded. -- We don' sign no stinkin dots
