- I Have a True Blue IBM AT 6 mhz 286 with 512 RAM (1985 vintage). I would like
- to plug in an Aboveboard to bring my memory up to a reasonable level (1MB) but
- I am running into a problem. The system boots fine, finds the memory on the
- Power On Self Test but the gives me an error, resets the memory to 512K and
- tells me to run setup. I don't have setup (this was a freebie system). I
- phoned IBM and all the local dealers and nobody got nuthin'. IBM tech support
- told me that no such animal existed but they did not sound too confident.
-
- To make a long story short, has anyone got it, heard of it or can give me a
- definitive answer on it's existance. Thanks.
