IIRC, the RAM drawer has 128K on the mainboard, but
you can add 1 or 2
daughterboards, each is another 128K.
Ok, I got the right torx tools, and took the
cover off the memory drawer.
There is a large "base" card in the bottom of it, and two daughtercards that
appear to fill the entire case. That sounds like 384k total in the RAM
drawer. That must mean 512k is built into the base unit without the memory
drawer? Ok.... but I could have sworn I saw somewhere that the 110+ could go
to 1mb. Wonder where the additional 128k goes?
For an application (in ROM or on disk) to show up in
PAM, there needs to
be some data file which defines the label to appear in PAM, the
executable filename, and so on. The format of that (IIRC it's a text
file) is also documented. I would assume some of your ROMs don't contain
said file.
Interesting info, but I'm not interested in the rom format (yet).
I'm much
more concerned why neither executive card manager and lotus 123 don't show
up in pam. They don't show up in the directory of the B drive either - and I
am relatively sure from other research that they ARE supposed to show up
there when installed.
On thing I'm curious about is the jumpers inside the software drawer. Any
docs on those? It may be coincidence, but all the jumpers (one for each H/L
set) are in the same position for each of the six slots - and the two roms
that don't appear are the only two roms that use both H and L sockets. So
this makes me wonder if they were plugged in but the jumpers just never set
right. Anyone have docs on just how those jumpers are supposed to be set?
I assume you've got an MS-DOS prompt by now. Try
DIR B: and see what
shows up.
Everything that should, except the two app roms mentioned above.
No, there's only one battery, the 6V lead acid
one.
Ok, then the first order of business is to seek out a replacement battery if
one can be found!
I have a sort-of workaround. It takes longer, but you
don't bend
anything. It goes like this :
Thanks a ton, I will look in to your procedure
tomorrow!
Thanks to all for the assistance!
