I'm not sure if it will make much of a difference but I put the card in slot
1 so it would boot from slot6 and hopefully leave slot 1 untouched, then
grabbed the 0xc100 area and the 0xc800 area.
Unfortunately it will be the day after tomorrow before I can grab a copy of
the dumps.
Most of my free time today was occupied by my floppy project. I'll get it
nailed eventually :)
Tristan.
