  It's certainly possible that could be a problem, but I've been reading the
MSV11-D user's manual (it's on vt100.net) and it doesn't have a jumper to
disable the top page.  Actually what it has is a jumper to _enable_ the
bottom 2K of the I/O page, so you can have a tiny bit of extra RAM in
systems without many I/O devices.

  The MSV11 manual says only "factory configured modules will not respond to
bank 7 addresses..." and it then goes on to say how you can enable the lower
2K of bank 7 with the aforementioned jumper, but it's quiet about how it
decides what a bank 7 address is (i.e. does it monitor BBS7 or the address
bits?).

  The only other jumpers on the MSV11-D are for battery backup and to select
the starting address.

  Thanks for the suggestions, but I'm afraid I'm still puzzled...

Bob
