[DSP-10] software query

	Hello. Thank you for your efforts which enable understanding and
playing radio. I just received my DSP-10, KDSP10 and DSPx a week ago. This
will be fun. But, I'm a bit thick and seeking help with a couple of initial
hurdles. I am a C and assembly programmer since later seventies for a
variety of processor families, usually embedded in scientific research
instrumentation. My experience has been of the type where I write code, send
a hex file to PROM burner and I'm off and running, knowing all about the
system because I put all the pieces in. 
	From here, I'll present questions, leaving out assumptions and
guesses to reduce clutter. Any help would be most welcomed and added to
system documentation. In going over web and print sources, references to
versions and different DSP units from several years of system life has me
somewhat confused (sorry).
	Goals are twofold for the KDSP10: Work with the DSP10 then add it to
a DSP-10. I have both a WIN XP and a DOS 6.22 box on KVM in station. I've
downloaded Tera Term, dosBox and the rest of those items mentioned on the
KK7P and DSP-10 sites.

1) In this newly arrived DSPx, What programs reside in the 2185N? In the
39VF040?
2) Does one need to step carefully to avoid clobbering shipped code? Are
things irretrievable once clobbered?
3) Which tools and steps are needed to put a piece of code, like one of the
appropriately modified for DSPx examples, out to the DSPx? Location info?
4) After installing the KDSP10 in a DSP-10, one still wants to learn more
and tinker with KDSP10 hardware. Is this best done with a second unit, or
have folks figured good ways to do both with a single unit?

	This is a lot to ask. Hopefully, I'll be able to contribute down the
road.

	73,
	Dale   WJ7L
