[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Inboard 386/PC and AST Six-Pak

Hello PC Fans,

        Santa brought me an Intel "Inboard 386/PC"!!!  What a guy, eh..?

        The Inboard comes with 1 meg RAM and unfortunately collides with
the 384K RAM on the AST Six-Pak Plus board.  Right now I have the RAM on
the six-pak turned off.  Since the documentation on the six-pak has
disappeared, does anyone know if I can configure the RAM on the six-pack
into additional extended memory..?

Check your bus connector, it's an 8 bit board.  Sorry, no extended memory
without 16 bits.  In the system you described, the AST board could be used
for LIM expanded memory or AST's EEMS.

Hope this has helped ...

Sorry, but the AST-Sixpak will not support Extended menory.  One problem
is that the PC bus only supports 1 meg of address space, so what you get
on the Inboard is it for extended memory
