Following up to my article
in article <2134@mtuxo.UUCP> hsc@mtuxo.UUCP (Harvey S. Cohen) points
out that he has two 1/2MB memory boards and a 1/2MB motherboard and
the system correctly sees 1 1/2 MB of memory contradicting what I
wrote. The explanation is simple: a) I boobed and b) when I said
"memory expansion cards" I meant to say that memory expansion cards
don't count as memory expansion cards.
Never mind, let me try again.
You cannot mix combo card memory and memory expansion card memory and
have the system see all of it. Unless you can put memory expansion
cards in slot n and the combo card in slot m and fiddle it somehow
(but I don't think so). There. Now somebody else can correct me.

Well, Jonathon, since you ask.. :-) I have both a combo card populated with 1 meg and a 512K ram board running in addition to my 512 on board, for a total of 2 meg. The problem with the original posting, I think, is that there is no configuration of possible slots, etc. which allow more than 2 meg of memory if you have only 512K on board. At least I could not find anything in the installation guide which would provide this. Steve Spearman ihnp4!ihop3!spear
