  It only effects cards which are memory mapped and can't be put between
640k and 1MB. You also have to turn off memory shadow in that range if
you have memory mapped devices there.

  Original poster: you did turn off shadow memory when trying to put the
board in that range, right?

  I think the AST is i/o mapped, but the clone I ordered hasn't come yet.
