From article <3108@tutor.tut.fi>, by th82787@tut.fi (Heinonen Tomi Tapani):
$ I have met a real problem with my 386 . It's not an IBM, it's clone.
$ However.. It has 1M base memory at morherboard (in SIMMs).
$ The system finds only 640 Kb. I have tried to change setups for move
$ memory that is betveen 640 Kb and 1M to location which is after 1M.
$ I haven't succeed. The dealer who sold that computer for me said that
$ it is impossible to use memory (betveen 640 K 1M) as an extendet or
$ expandet memory. I doubt that he is right.
$ If anyone knows something about that I would be gratefull if you
$ send me a mail and give some information :-)

Flame on:

this is c.s.i.p.PROGRAMMER. Your question belongs in comp.sys.ibm.pc.

Flame off:

Almost every 386 board I've seen is capable of mapping the 384K between
640K and 1MB above the 1MB mark. The AMI 386 board which I've seen in a
lot of clones only allows you to map 256K of the 384k.

What type of motherboard is it?
