Switch 2, external drive assignment-If you have connected
an external diskette drive to the computer, this switch
determines whether MS-DOS and your application programs
access the drive as drive A or drive B. The external drive
should be drive B, unless you are using a copy-protected
application program that requires the diskette to be loaded in
drive A. In this case, you can assign the external drive as A by
turning switch 2 off. If you want it to be drive B, turn the
switch on.
Switch 3, number of diskette drives-This switch tells the
computer how many diskette drives it has. If you have one
diskette drive, turn this switch on. If you have two drives
(either two internal or one internal and one external) turn it off.
Switch 4, primary or secondary serial port-This switch tells
the computer whether the built-in serial port is primary or
secondary. If you install the optional modem card, which has
an external serial port, you can use this DIP switch to select
which port is to be primary and which is to be secondary.
If you do not have a modem installed or if you want the built-
in port to be the primary port, turn switch 4 off. If you want
the modem port to be the primary port and the built-in port to
be secondary, turn switch 4 on,
