Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.  I don't think you will be able to use
that 384K.  That is the shadow area.  I have 8Mb on my machine so it isn't
a problem (I have a generic 386 w/AMI Bios).  I understand your dismay,
but I don't think there is a way around it, except to get more memory.  It
should accept everything above 1Mb.
