       Classic Above Board Accelerator Board Compatibility: A-K

 INBOARD 386

     Compatible with current Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic as well
     as the discontinued Above Board 286, PS/286, AT, and PS/AT.

     Tech Notes: If you want to use an Intel classic bus memory board with
     IEMM386, ILIM386, or a 386 control program such as QEMM or 386MAX, you
     must configure the memory board for EXTENDED memory. You cannot use
     IEMM386, ILIM386, or EMM together.  You will need to choose one or the
     other.  For expanded memory, you  must have EMM Ver. 3.5.or higher.

     Do not run SETUPAT, TESTAB, or INSTALL with IEMM386 or ILIM386
     installed.

     If an Above Board AT is set up to use 64K chips to backfill
     conventional memory, then these chips must be replaced with 256K chips
     if the InBoard 386 is used to supply conventional memory from 256K-
     640K.  Leaving these chips in will cause EMM to return Msg. 7: Some of
     the memory is not working.

 INBOARD 386/PC

     Compatible with Current Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic as well
     as the  discontinued Above Board 286, PS 286, PC, & PS/PC:  IF the
     Above Board or Matched Memory Classic is supplying ONLY EXPANDED
     memory, AND IF the InBoard 386/PC is NOT trying to supply any EXPANDED
     memory, (you can NOT have more then one expanded memory manager in any
     computer system at one time).

     Since the InBoard 386/PC supplies all of its own conventional memory,
     no memory board can supply conventional memory in a system with an
     InBoard PC.

     To get more EXTENDED memory in a system with an InBoard PC, you must
     use the InBoard PC Piggy Back Option.  No memory board, (Above Board
     and Matched Memory Classic included), can provide EXTENDED memory in a
     computer that wasn't designed to accommodate extended memory on its
     data bus.

 GENERAL INFORMATION

     Some accelerator boards contain on board RAM, which must not conflict
     with RAM on other memory boards.  Any memory boards with conventional
     memory that conflicts with memory on the accelerator board should be
     removed or have the conflicting memory disabled.

     Some turbo boards with coprocessor sockets require the motherboard
     coprocessor socket to be "plugged" with a dummy chip when a coprocessor
     is used on the turbo board.

     In 8088-based systems, may get error "unable to program eeprom" with
     accelerator board installed.  Choices:

     1.  Send them the latest version of Above Board/Matched Memory Classic
         software with the new SETBOARD program.
     2.  Put the Intel board in another 8088 system to run SETBOARD, or...
     3.  Remove the accelerator board and replace 8088 to run SETBOARD.

 APPLIED REASONING'S PC ELEVATOR

     Tested by Intel and found to have limited compatibility with Above
     Boards and Matched Memory Classic.  The PC Elevator board holds 1Mb of
     RAM which emulates Expanded Memory.  This RAM is incompatible with
     Intel expanded memory provided by an Above Board or Matched Memory
     Classic board.

     Applied Reasoning was at one time working on a device driver which
     would allow the board's memory to be used with Intel's EMS memory, but
     as of this date we have no information if they ever managed to get that
     to work.  Requires an 80287-8 coprocessor.

 AST

 AST FLASHPAK

     Tested and confirmed compatible with current Above Boards and Matched
     Memory Classic.  When enabling the cache on the Flashpak, the user
     needs to be sure to NOT cache the region in reserved memory where EMM
     creates the 64K page frame.  Switches 7-10 on switch block #2 allow the
     user to choose the "cached memory range" (pp A-5 to A-6 in the AST
     Flashpak manual.)

 AST HOTSHOT

     *CUSTOMER REPORTS* of compatibility with Above Boards and Matched
     Memory Classic.  The device driver KDD.SYS, (or FDD.SYS), for changing
     speeds will conflict with EMM.SYS.  Try placing the KDD.SYS driver
     before EMM.SYS in the CONFIG.SYS.

 BREAKTHRU 286 TURBO (BY PCSG)

     *CUSTOMER REPORTS* of compatibility with Above Boards and Matched
     Memory Classic.

     Tech Notes:  Math co-processor socket is jumpered for either 5MHz or
     8MHz co-processor.  Customers report it uses the same I/O port address
     as the Above Board PS/PC clock.  Gives clock message 101.  Send
     customers the ABCLOCK software.

 KAM & ASSOCIATES  AT EXCELERATOR II

     Currently we have no information on Above Board compatibility with this
     accelerator.
