Hi 
	I was trying to set up serial card in my IBM PC AT clone computer. 
By mistake I thought I should edit the CMOS chip and I tried to do that by going into extended CMOS setup . But I 
must had set some bits wrong because it refused to boot up next time. So I reset
the CMOS values and booted up again. It worked. But the problem now is 
instead of reporting 1 M RAM memory ( as it used to before I reset the CMOS chip
) it is now reporting only 640 k memory.  I do not know how to set up CMOS chip
to access full 1 M RAM. So I am asking you netters, if any of you help me to  
set up CMOS ( it reports 82C235 chip) , it is greatly appritiated. 

My computer configuration is:

	IBM PC AT 286 clone.
	American megatrends BIOS-286
	1 M RAM
	43 M Hard drive
	2 serail, 1 game, 1 parallel port
	3 1/2" and 5 1/4" ( High Density) drives
	Oak Tech. VGA card
	SVGA monitor
	extended keyboard 
	
Please send your e-mail to my account
My e-mail address is          suresh@picasso.ocis.temple.edu
                              spai@grad.cis.temple.edu

Thanks in advance.
