A friend has an old IBM-PC compatible for which the system board switches
only allow setting up to 512K. He would like to put 640K on an expansion
board - but we don't know how to tell DOS that the extra memory is there.
I assume there is some relatively general way to do this since I have heard
of some method to tell DOS to use the memory normally occupied by the
monochrome display adapter (above 640K). Any pointers would be welcome.
Thanks in advance.
