Atom-in-pc toolboxes

Post by silcreval »

Now I'm up and running with the awesome 'Atom-in-PC' card - I'm wondering how I can activate the toolboxes.
Is there a command I use to switch banks, or a way to list whats available?

Incidentally the full size ISA card proved a challenge, and the only machine I had that would actually take it was an IBM AT. I guess that had to work. Its been a while since I've used a 286 but its proving fine, and suits the Atom in PC card. I fitted a decent ISA SVGA card so have accecss to the full range of graphic modes.

When you run the INIT program (do you have that?) then switching goes automatically. Without running the INIT program no toolboxes are available because they all reside in RAM.

Aah - no I've not run INIT, I'll give that a try.

That took a while :lol:
Great to hear that it (still) works. I also got my Atom-in-PC in an OS/2 computer working so I can now provide full support for the DOS version of the terminal program. The Windows version is known to fail and since I didn't write it, I cannot support it.
