Robert, the HIMEM.SYS program that comes with Windows from Microsoft
will allow you to access the 64k above 640 that is otherwise
inaccessible, for a total of 704k. I owned a KPC when they first
came out and found it to be a very reliable machine. I don't know of
any device drivers that will allow the use of that rather unconventional
memory as expanded or extended ram. Hope this helps
Scott
