I'm having a problem with my new Zeos 386-20DX laptop... It comes with the PHEONIX 386 BIOS PLUS V 1.10 22 revision... It now has ONE MEG of RAM installed... The problem I'm having with the Pheonix 386 BIOS is that it REFUSES TO LET ME USE THE 384K ABOVE 640K AS EXTENDED OR EXPANDED MEMORY!! It says that the 384K IS *RESERVED* and I can't get the BIOS to free it up... I've disable all bios, video ram, shadowing etc. since they aren't too important to me (since I thought the 384K was allocated to all those speed up features..) However, the 384K is not usable!! Since I have one meg do you know why I can't use the 384K??? On my old AT desktop I was always able to use the 384K as extended memory.. Now this 386 BIOS won't.... Is there anyway to use that 384K It sure seems like a big waste if it's "reserved" for nothing... Oh well...
