Re: "No board" error with the DRO kit

Just enter 544 which is the decimal equivalent. I use edit also so that is
not the problem. Send me your .cfg file tho I suspect that if it works with
a 486 that the 386 must be odd or there is a conflict. As I mentioned I
tried one of the boards in a 386-16 today and it worked fine with the same
.cfg file as the 486.
