 AB UPGRADE KIT (FOR AB 286 OR PLUS ONLY)

     The Upgrade Kit costs $49.00 and is available to customers within the
     United States of America and Canada from fulfillment by submitting an
     order form (FaxBACK document 9116).

     Provides mappable conventional memory, 128k extended memory  addressing
     and larger than 64k page frames for expanded memory.

     Who needs mappable conventional memory?   DESQview and Windows 2.X
     users.

     Who needs larger than 64k page frames?  QRAM users.  Others can benefit
     too.

     Who needs 128k extended memory addressing?  Customers who have a
     computer with a 1mg motherboard and want to set the AB for extended
     memory or anyone needing to address the AB extended memory in less than
     512k increments.

 DO I NEED THE ABOVE BOARD UPGRADE KIT?

     The Above Board Upgrade Kit was designed to upgrade the discontinued
     Above Board 286 and PS/286 to the most current Above Board Plus.
     Upgrading provides you with all of the EMS 4.0 features such as
     mappable conventional memory (if you can disable the system board
     memory) and larger page frame (a must for QRAM users). The upgrade also
     allows 128k-byte extended memory addresses necessary to install into a
     1MB system board.

     Our older boards that were designed with switches cannot be upgraded.

     If the SETBOARD program shows the Above Boards' serial number to start
     with E, LB, LC, LE, or LG, then that Above Board can take advantage of
     the upgrade kit.  The Above Boards that have serial numbers beginning
     with E were the Above Board 286's and PS/286's which would need the
     Upgrade Kit for the EMS 4.0 features. The other Above Board serial
     numbers listed are for the original Above Board Plus which would need
     the Upgrade Kit only for the feature to access extended memory in less
     than 512k boundaries.
