In response to the requests of several users, here are the switch configurations for the pc6300. Please note that these settings are not accurate for earlier rom levels than 1.43. The following switch settings have been copied without permission from _AT&T_ document 999-300-200IS copyright 1986,1985,1984 by AT&T. Please note that they are applicable only to rom level 1.43 or higher. The title of the document they came from is the USER'S GUIDE AT&T PERSONAL COMPUTER 6300 pages A-6, A-9, & A-12. Although copied with care, I am not responsible for any errors resulting from the use of these settings. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |-------------------------------------------| | DIPSW-1 | | DIPSW-0 | | | | | | | | | |-------------------------------------------| (Note: The manual doesn't say, and I don't have a machine with the shrouds removed at the moment, so I can't tell you which ram bank is 0 or 1; using the switch settings and common sense, it is not too difficult to figure out...) I just looked at my notes -- the first two rows are bank 0 (possibly soldered), the second two rows are bank 1.
