Also, you can BRUN INSTALL PT#4 and after you hit return you need to have
and E or R in the keyboard buffer otherwise the program will just return
to the BASIC prompt. From there you can skip all the graphics giberish and 
any CP/M & Pascal volumes.

The first Sider I got many years back, during the "Goto your Mailbox"
advertising spree had a Microscience HH 10 Meg MFM drive with a 1410 board.
I was able to replace it with an ST-225 when it bit the big one two weeks
out of warranty. Something that was quite common.
