I have recently purchased a USED z158 system. XT turbo 2 floppies,
a 20 meg hard, running msdos 3.2.. The tag on it says z158-12.
The manual that was given to me does not even come close to
describing the mother board that I have. All jumpers,pictures etc
are different. SO......
On the mother board there is 27 sockets for ram chips. I have installed
all 27 sockets with 256k chips and can only increase my memory to 396k.
I have moved every conceivable jumper around to try and get some increase,
but to no avail.
I have talked to heathkit, and they seem no help. I am also on their
waiting list for the z158 technical manual set, and I've been waiting 4 months
now. {Apparently benton-harbor{sp !} is still developing it}.
Does any one know what is going on....
Is it a ROM CHANGE....
Is the board REALLY unable to handle it .....
rgrds, al {thank you }
