                  AST-5251 VER. 2.1 ADDRESSING


The AST-5251 package utilizes I/O address 300 to 30F.  If another 
peripheral board is using the same or part of this address  range 
it will be necessary to readdress the AST-5251.

To  readdress AST-5251,  the CC-432 board and AST5251.EXE must be 
reconfigured.

Locate  the switch bank (S1) on the CC-432 board.   Switches  one 
and two select the I/O address range for the CC-432.

   S1       Position        Hexidecimal          Application
    1           2          I/O Addresses

   ON          ON             300-30F          Prototype Card
   OFF         ON             320-32F          Fixed Disk
   ON          OFF            340-34F          Not Used
   OFF         OFF            360-36F          Not Used

To  patch AST5251.EXE it is first necessary to rename it in order 
for DEBUG.COM to edit it.   Type in the commands in boldface on a 
disk that has DOS, DEBUG.COM, and AST5251.EXE on it.
