Re: [emax] EMAX II memory expansion - noob question

2016-03-18 by Ted Summers

#1 - From my understanding, if you had a 1MB the main board and not 2MB, you will not get to 8MB. Only 7MB

#2- See if you can boot from floppy - from there once confirmed working, go with SD would be my suggestion as has been discussed already.
