I use a PC (Laptop Victor 286P) with 1 MB RAM and Coherent tells me
at boot time that  839 K is available for COherent. 
There are two possibilities:  YOu have an old AT-Board, 512k/512K or
set the wrong DIP-switches on your board.
YOu need no driver for expanded or extended memory.

Not possible, you have to wait for Coherent 386.
