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
