Subject: MTN and N*
In N* port 0C0H is used to "arm the parity logic" in all RAM boards.
Actually MTN worked all right in terminal mode for a while after the
following patch:

...Do the following patch to a copy of the MTN21.COM file:
13A0 -> 00
13A1 -> 00
13B5 -> 00
13B6 -> 00
1669 -> 00
166A -> 00
This will start you up using BDOS console I/O instead of BIOS console
I/O. When you get to the part that offers you a choice of method of
console I/O, you will only have two real choices, BDOS, or "Direct".
The reason behind this is that your BIOS uses registers H and L
without saving them - and MTN doesn't either.
HOWEVER I now have a parity problem in one of my boards, and am
wondering whether it was somehow damaged beacuse of that...(???)
