David,

This message responds to 16820 and 16822

As we don't have the EK-VAK or the VGA board done yet I can only give you our
intentions. Both boards should work in the system at the same time. That is the
planned intention from Hazelwood. I am a bit gun-shy about making promises on
things I don't directly control, so I'll leave it at that.

I'm glad you got you terminal problems fixed by making a new internal cable. I
forgot to ask you on the phone about where you got the internal cable you used
that didn't work? In case someone else runs into it.

On staggering the SIMMs. It doesn't matter which way you do it. There is only 2
choices. If you put them in one way and then do a 'v' from the monitor ROM it
will display a memory map showing you where your SIMMs are in the 128 Meg
space. Each '*' represents 256K by 8. It would be nice to know where to put
them to get them at the beginning of memory. OSK doesn't care but it would be
nice. I'll add that to the manual.

Sooo How do you like your KiX\30? You're the first one on CIS to have one,
(besides me) Why don't you tell the guys how building it went and how you like
it etc etc.
