I have a situation that is very close to your.
I am running a 3-high-speed-lines BBS and on the same box I do heavily X
development. My 8 Mb are no longer enough to get satisfactory performance
(I still have a 20 MHz board :-() so I would like to add some memory, up
to 16 MB. It seems not possible to get a Computone board work if you
have 16 Meg on the board (even if I have not tried it yet, just asked
around) and I cannot map the card below 1 Meg because all the available
space is occupied by my 1-meg VGA card, the hd controller bios, the tape
streamer bios. (This makes also me wonder where the 1-meg VGA video memory
is mapped... any clues?)
So it seems that I only can go up to 12 Meg on the board.
I read somewhere that you have a multiport board too -- how much memory
do you have on your box?(and also what kind/brand of motherboard you have?)

Rick
