Re: "No board" error with the DRO kit

I tested one of the boards in a 386-16 with no co processor and it worked
fine.
If you have a no board present error then it would mean that you
may not have the jumper on the board set to the same address in the
software. Did you reconfigure the software for the various positions tried.?
