[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Pioneer 386SX & 4MB?

minakami@Neon.Stanford.EDU (Michael K. Minakami) (02/24/90)

Has anyone managed to install 4 1MB SIMMS in a Vantage 386SX
motherboard? I have 4 installed but only two MB is recognized.
I called pioneer and they said to hold the insert key down
while turning on the computer; I did that and got a keyboard
error. Then they said I had a non-standard keyboard, but I
have a true-blue IBM AT enhanced kbd. Right now my system's
sitting with everything disconnected in hopes of resetting
the CMOS RAM. Has anyone had success in installing mempry
in this motherboard?

Is this a C&T NEAT based mb? You should have been able to run
a setup program from the BIOS after booting. The insert key
thing has worked for me. Did you get a manual with the mb?
