Well, actually...

Early versions of Compaq 3.31's User Diagnostics had the following
problem:  On a Compaq Portable 386/20 (gas plasma) with Compaq EGA
board in the attached expansion unit and more than 1 megabyte on
the motherboard, the Diagnostics could not find the extended memory.
The problem went away when the EGA was removed.

This might or might not show up on your clone, and it is fixed on,
e.g., User Diagnostics version 6.08.

Small potatoes, huh!
