Strange - as it is the original pcditto emulates a PC with 703k
memory free - which is (my guess) different depending on how much memory
is on-board on an st. I can't imagine new restrictions being imposed on
the new version which weren't imposed on the original...

Now what I would like to know is, I am just about to get tos 1.4 installed
on my 1040st. Will that make it incompatible?
