Some mothercards is capable to 'hide' parts of the memory on the mothercard 
(not on the bus (on expansion cards)) so the user can have 16 Mbyte on the
mothercard, but only 15 Mbytes are used.

This problems is true for some other cards also. Older cards as Itex can 
also use a 64K chunk under the 1Mb DOS-limit.
