	AT&T SysvR3.2? runs on their 6386 box's (ISA) with up to
	40 megs memory just fine.  They use their own DMA controller
	on a 32 bit bus.  I guess the kernel must have special
	support for over 16 megs, because when I try to run
	QEMM (a 386 memory manager) under dos on the same machine,
	it goes nuts.  Bring it down to 16 megs, and everything runs
	fine.
