Franklin Ace 2200



I finally opened up my Franklin to see what she has inside.  What I 
found was the RGB card and the RAM card with 8 empty sockets.  I went 
ahead and pulled 8 RAM chips from an Apple ][+ that I've been keeping 
for parts and put them in the empty sockets.  Don't know if that will 
do anything useful or not, but I assume it won't hurt the system 
anyway.

I noticed that there are jumpers on both the RGB and RAM cards, as 
well as on the motherboard itself.  Anyone know what the different 
settings for these jumpers do?

Also, what do the DIP switches on the back panel do?

I still have not been able to get her to boot from the disk drive.  
Any ideas what might be the problem?  When I power her up, Drive 1 
just spins until I hit CONTROL-RESET to get to the Applesoft prompt.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.  To date, I have found no 
info on the 2200 except for a few old postings in the Deja News 
archives.
