An A1200(HD) in 2MB, 6MB and 10MB modes using trapdoor memory AND/OR
PCMCIA memory expansions. Also an A600(HD) using KS2.0x with 1MB, 2MB
and 6MB modes using trapdoor memory AND/OR PCMCIA memory expansions.
All test conditions WERE/ARE using standard ~topaz 8~ fonts throughout.
I have no idea what a strange configuration setup will create so refer
