8086 memory space
Ahh, the 8080 and 8086 were never intended as general purpose computer systems. They were originally marketed to EEs to replace boards full of random logic. Don't blame Intel or Microsoft because...

It was expected that the installation would have installed scripts for autolog1 service machine to perform various operating system startup functions .... including issuing autolog commands for other service virtual machines.

Not allowing STARTER0 to perform its function leads to all sorts of complications as we can know when we went thru this same problem a couple of months ago.
