I have a two-month old Pantera Pentium-66 with a Cobra motherboard. I just
had occasion to take a look at my UMB area and noticed that I am "missing" 32K
-- there are two 16K areas of Adaptec ROM at E000 and at E400. I'm guessing
this is related to the on-board SCSI support but, if so, as I don't have the
SCSI chip installed/enabled I see no reason to give up 32K of UMB.

Anyone know how can I "recover" my 32K?
