Someone filled in the blank on my comment about the bank selection abilities of Action!. I suggested it might be 32k (there was a question mark after that estimate) and Ray supplied the proper 8k figure. He added that only 8k is in memory at once. This might not be true. According to the documentation, if used in conjunction with the DOS-XL (the advancement from OS/A+, also by OSS), there is the possibility that you can access 4 of the 8k that the Action! cart seems to occupy, reducing the total occupancy to a minimum of 4k! (NOTE: I havn't TRIED this, just reporting the possibility...) Does anyone know if DOS-XL is really required to do this trick? -Richard Hartman max.hartman@ames-vmsb ------
