I have a BOCA AT Plus Memory board in my AT (4MB).  I had to make sure that I
went through the Boca Setup to let my computer know that what memory I had. 
You have to (I am pretty sure) configure it all as Extended memory before
Windows will use it.  What I have done is use MBOOT (Multiple boot program from
PC-Mag) so that my computer will boot up with all Extended memory if I'm using
Windows or convert it to expanded memory if using non-Win program.  BTW, I
discovered that extended memory on the Boca board is significantly faster than
expanded memory.
