Evidently it is not possible. We have sent a 6300+ to Microsoft
and it sounds like they could not get it to work. I think that
Windows requires a 16-bit DMA and the Plus is 8-bit. (I don't
know hardware, if this makes no sense please disregard it.)

Oh, well. (At least the 6300 could be upgraded with a Sota board;
no upgrade options for the PLUS!)
