I have recently purchased an IBM-PC XT from a private party. Included with the
computer was a Quadram expansion board containing 256K of memory, serial and
parallel ports, and a clock. However, the party had no documentation for the
board because he purchased the computer from a friend.
Without documentation and/or software for the board, I cannot configure it,
change switch settings, or even communicate with the clock. I cannot find
anyone within my company who owns one of these boards, therefore I make an
appeal to the net for any information regarding these boards. If there is any
software needed to run the clock, etc., I would appreciate any help in finding
out how to get my hands on it, short of buying another board.
Please send whatever information you can by whatever means you wish.

Wellllll, Quadram,s address is:
Quadram Corporation
4357 Park Drive
Norcross, GA 30093
You need the manual to set the switches and there is software for
several functions:
Setting the Clock - SETCLK.BAS
Loading Clock into DOS - PWRUPCLK.COM
QuadRAM Drive (E-Drive) - QD.EXE
Print Spooler (QSPOOL) - QSPOOL.COM
Printer Swap (QSWAP) - QSWAP.COM
When you get the manual and software, I recommend ignoring their
statement about not setting the switch for parity check on their
memory because "Sometimes it is better for a program to produce a
few erroneous results rather than no results at all.". I think
that is ludicrous.
Good Luck !!
