Hello. I just picked up a Portfolio real cheap. (Some of you may remember me
replying via email that they sold out. Well, it seems they got a few left in the
warehouse and took them out after I called them.) Anyways, I've got a few questions
to all Portfolio owners:
o I did a ver and got:
DIP Operating System 2.11 v1.072
Copyright (c) DIP 1989
What version do other people have? What is the latest version?
o I seem to be missing 4K. According to everything I read, I should have
128K = 131072 bytes. When I do a chkdsk, I get:
7680 bytes total disk capacity
...
126976 bytes total memory
104736 bytes free
126976 = 124K. What happened?
o What is the optimal buffers setting? Considering that the whole thing
runs out of the RAM drive, it shouldn't be that high. I've got it at
buffers=5 right now.
o I bought a 32K RAM card too. I've got a 48sx too. I suppose the same
caveats applies wrt using this in the 48sx as using the Smith-Corona card?
o How do you remove the cover on the RHS that covers up the bus? The manual don't
mention how to do this and the arrow on the Pofo itself isn't very
informative. I'd hate to break that cover.
