Oh, wait I see the DIPs you refer to. They have plugs in them with
connections between the pins. Any pin out I can look at to read
what these are set for? The is one labeled BAUD RATE which the
switches plug into and two others labeled L SERIAL and R SERIAL.

Do you have the manuals? You'll need to check the

are set via jumpers on the open DIPs near the back of the motherboard.
Also, I seem to recall that North Star DOS was generated for a specific
RAM size -- I believe it's top-resident. A DOS set up for 16K would work
on 32K or 48K, but not vice versa.

Ok, I have a few minutes now to play around with the N* Horizon
I've been fixing up. I've tried to power it up and it seems to hit the
disk drive and then nothing. I've plugged some spare terminals into the
port marked "Video Terminal Port" and played with baud rates and other
comm settings but get nothing on any of my terminals. Also tried straight
through and flipped comm cables. Can someone give me some info on these
and maybe walk me through getting it set up and running so I can check and
see if I've missed something? Oh, I'm trying both N*DOS 5.2 and N* CP/M
2.2.
Thanks.
