I still have the quick setup guide (which has all the required info)
and you are welcome to peruse it. There should be a few people about
with photocopies of the full manual (now missing).

We had Labtams in production in the not too distant past. With 8Mb,
anything graphically intensive was painful. They are relatively easy
to expand (out to 64 Mb I think) using SIMMs.

I am pretty sure I posted some ASCII art showing the RAM jumper
settings, but couldn't find it on the list archive. The following
links might be useful though:

Subject: Labtam CT320 setup key sequence


I've been luck enough to inherit a couple of Labtam CT320's (thanks to 
Alfred) and would like to ask a couple of questions of those other 
Labtam owners on the list.

I've managed to find the xengine software and now have the thing booting
and doing a GDM session from my RedHat box.

The only reason its working is because my 12 year-old boy used the millions
of monkeys approach to finding the way into the setup screen.  This has not
been reproducible. 

Now I need to change the font path setting in the nvram and would like to
know the magic key sequence.  Does X11R4 support font servers?

Also it only has 8Mb of RAM. Is this the limit?  It keeps saying its
run out of memory when the screen get complicated.  I tried some larger
SIMMS but it still said 8Mb at boot.  Is this an NVRAM setting or is
8Mb all you can fit in?
