I am currently building an IBM-XT compatible and I need to know what the different settings of the DIP switchs are for on the mother board. The boolet that came with the board was missing this info. I would appreciate the help. thanks, Ira Tessler UUCP ...topaz!tessler ARPA tessler@green.rutgers.edu
