I'm having problems with an IBM PC that i just acquired as an educational
loan; when I boot up (with or without the DOS disk in drive A) instead of
going through a memory check the machine reports that I have 62940 bytes
free. The machine has a fully populated 256k motherboard with all of the
switches set to the correct positions; the diagnostics disk says that it
has 256k; i can poke and peek values above this point in the memory; ibm is
responsible for servicing the machine (according the the loan agreement)
and it has been sent to them for service; they claim it's perfectly fine; 

has anyone seen symptoms like this before; any helpful advice
