We have been trying in the last few days to install PC Oracle on an
IBM PS/2 Model 70 (DOS 4.0).  The machine is configured with 3M of RAM,
but the machine locks up during installation.  After playing around a bit we
were able to get a "Kernel Log" of the error - Error: Insufficient memory;
896K of extended memory required.

We're wondering if anyone else has had this experience and could lend some
advice.  Oracle Corp. says there should be know problem, and would love to
help for a price.

The suspicion here is a bug in DOS 4.0.
