Summary: 1Mbyte on AT causes problems!


My experiences with placing one Mbyte of RAM on an AT
clone has been upsetting. My system (clones that we
assemble) do not like the extra address area filled.
When placed with RAM (the best brands, various speed)
parity errors (NMI, etc) would pop up often - especially
with a Princeton Graphics (Cannon) LS-300 scanner and
Wyse 700 monitor installed. The scanner is a DMA device
with its own card (what else, right - ether DMA...)
Anyhow - the system works like a champ with a measly
640K RAM.
