good-o.

Yes, that's the Acorn DNFS.  (combined disc and network FS ROM.  The
network bit doesn't do anything if the Econet upgrade isn't fitted)

It's been a long time since I used it, but I don't think you load it
into a sideways ROM bank.  Try typing */HIBASIC.

You can check it's working by pressing ctrl-break and typing P.~HIMEM -
this should be &8000 when the SP is on.  Then run HIBASIC and type
P.~HIMEM again - it should have risen to &B800, i.e. you've gained
another 14k of memory by loading the BASIC ROM high.
