Yes, there are some oddities to the 1000, due to the fact that it's a
PCjr clone rather than a PC clone.  This I know.

This is one of the things I think I need. A WD MFM board has LOTS of
jumpers, and documentation, at this point, is non-existant.

Can the 1000SX use a regular PC BIOS or, like the 1000A, does it
require a special BIOS?
