Attached is a copy of the Firefox memory board IRS.  The Firefox
memory board complies fully with the SPECTRUM IO_ACD.  Software that
is written in a way that complies with the architecture will
work with the Firefox memory board.  There are differences between
the Firefox, Indigo and Cheetah memory boards.  Software should be written
to comply with the IO_ACD not a specific memory board.

The IRS is being distributed because (at least up to this time) the memory
section of the IO_ACD has been in a constant state of change and the
Firefox memory controller needs to be fully defined by 12/1/84
to stay on schedule.  Any changes after this time will either cause
the Firefox schedule to slip or Firefox may not comply fully with the
IO_ACD.

If you see anything in the IRS that does not comply with the IO_ACD as
you understand it or if you see anything that will cause software
compatibility problems please let me know as soon as possible.
