There was a rumour some months back that a program could be written which fiddled the NEAT chip set registers to enable the block of RAM between 640k and 704k (for those without EGA). Does anyone know if this has been done, or alternatively how it could be done? Peter S.

In their setup routine, you set base memory to 1024K. When the machine boots, it will assign all the memory below whatever video adapter to DOS. I ran a herc board and booted with 704K this way. Nice. The AMI NEAT does not support this feature. Don't know about AWARD. -- Ray Berry kb7ht uucp: ...ole!ray CIS: 73407,3152 /* "inquire within" */ Seattle Silicon Corp. 3075 112th Ave NE.
