disk; you need not use an external programmer. If you use +12 V
Flash memories (28F010) you will still need an "external program-
mer" to write data.

Drive capacity

The size of the emulated drive depends on the size and number of
the chips you install. For example, if you install three 512 KB
chips, you will have 3 x 512 KB = 1.536 MB, equivalent to a 1.44
MB floppy. If you install three 128 KB chips, you will have 3 x
128 KB = 384 KB, equivalent to a 360K floppy.

Drive configuration

Before you activate the Flash/RAM/ROM drive (using the BIOS
Advanced Setup program), you will need to set the drive's I/O and
memory addresses to avoid conflicts with other plug-in cards. You
will also need to set the DOS drive designation to be used by the
Flash/RAM/ROM drive. You can press <Alt> - <S> to enter SSD
setup mode when you see the message.
Internal Solid-State Disk BIOS
"SSD assign to _: Hit
to setup SSD..."
You will need to set jumpers J17 and J18 to match the I/O. All the
devices must be the same type and size.
