   By the way...   
      
   I should have mentioned that the DMA is only needed for the FIRST   
   card you insert.  That first memory card is what adds the hardware to   
   support the DMA.  Once that is added, you machine is now 'DMA   
   equipped'.  Technically you could put a card in there with nothing but   
   DMA, although the BIOS wouldn't like it with only 128K of RAM   
   and probably wouldn't know what to do with it.  If you do that, then   
   you can add 'generic' PC memory cards.  Just remember that any   
   memory added to a 1000 type machine of this type should be mapped   
   to start at 0000:0000 because the onboard memory always gets   
   'shoved up'.
