[rescue] xyplex

[bran tregare]

You're gonna need to put simms in it, the software requires more than the 
1MB on board to run.

  the shipped configs were 3M and 5M

I'm not sure about the flash cards, I know 2M cards will work with the 
older software, but the latest revs of the software for the 1600 requires a 
4 MB flash apparently.
