Does anyone have any answers (or questions) in regards to David Young's 
comments to me about the RAMBO XL board vs the Newall board?  If I had
of known that a Newell board would work in an 1200XL I might have gone
that way.  However, I did not.  His comments about it not switching the
ANTIC chip worry me, but it seeminly is contracdicted by the instructions
which (admittedly prejudiced) say that RAMBO XL is 100% compatible with
Atari Writer+, BASIC XE, Paper Clip, Synfile+ and others?  What does 
Young's comments really mean?

Also, does anyone feel (as I do) that Young's scheme of using one of the
additional 16k banks for his Atariwriter+ 80 col scheme is NOT the way
to go?   Why use up some of the additional memory when you have 16k available
to you at the cartridge slot?  (Either use a cartridge or at least use
the 16k memory allocated for the cart.)  Personally, I put out a magazine
using Atarwriter+ as my wordprocessor and believe you me -- I use all of
the memory of my 130XE.  There is not 16k available for his 80 col. soft-
ware/firmware.  Does some of the CDY stuff already use the cartridge 16k
memory allocated?
