  OK. First of all, I have tried the /s option. It tells me that I can't run
standard or enhanced mode on this machine. My BIOS is not shadowed unless I
run a special program to relocate it (which I don't). I don't have hardly any
docs for my machine, so I don't know if my >640k memory is configured as
extended or expanded (I thought >640 <1M was ALWAYS expanded!). How can I
find this out, and if is is configured as the wrong type, can and how can I
change it?
  Thanx for any assistance!
Rob.
