   To Mr. Phil Barrett:

     Oh, dear me YES! You are quite right in that there ARE other
DEBUG adresses used out there. I simply gave what I have found to be
the most common. Others I have seen include "c800:7" , "c800:FF"
and about 2 or 3 others.

    And, of course, the AT handles things completely differently.
Did I give the impression that the debug option extended to the
AT?? I didn;t mean to.

   So, yes, there are a number of these addresses. "c800:5" simply
seems to be the most common, which is why I suggested he "try" it
rather than "it'll work if you do this"


   BTW, some people interpreted my sarcasm about SPINRITE to be
a flame. I reiterate: it was not.
