I have an original 64K IBM PC which I'd like to use as a dumb terminal
(running Procomm).

However, I can't boot up DOS v3.2 (or above) on it.
(it comes up with a "configuration too large for memory" error)

Q: Can I add RAM to it so that I can boot it with DOS v3.2?
Q: If so, how can I do this (the cheapest way)?
Q: Are there any special jumpers on the 64K motherboad that I need to change)?
Q: If I'm successful in adding RAM, will I then be able to load DOS v3.2
   (and run procomm)?

Any help would be *GREATLY* appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
