Having loaded (at great pain) QEMM 5.11 on several AT&T 6386's, I can tell you
that you are in for some real exitement.  However, your problem is probably
very easy to fix.  You have most of it with the X=B0000-B7FF, but you need to
make the range a bit larger.  All the ones I've done work with:


	ROM RAM NOSORT X=B000-BFFF

There seems to be no reason to exclude the extra area, except that it works.
I'd be interested in hearing from other 6386 users that have gotten this to
work without the extra memory being excluded (it means I can't load some other
stuff high), thus the post.

Thanks,
