Hi.  Here's a question for anyone with the time and info to help out...

I've got 3 memory boards, supposed to me 2megs a-piece, that a friend got
from his employer when they shifted up to SIMM based systems.  I can't
get any of them to do anything, and as he didn't get the manuals, I 
don't really know what to do with them..  They've got a billion little
dip switches each...  Sigh.

One is a Intel Above Board PS AT, with two strips of PS1c256h-12 chips.
Those sound like 256k chips to me, which would make it a 512k board... But
he insists that he was told its a 2 megger....

Number two is an AST Advantage! With one row of 18 chips labeled
8504rf652-d4164c-3..  Gee, that sounds like a 128k board...  hmmm/

Number three is another Intel Above Board, this just "AT", not "PS AT"...
Anyway, it's got two rows of "8623rd023-d4164c-15"..  Sounds like another
128k..  But idunno..

Anyway, would anyone that has a bit of spare time and the manuals for these
take a glance and let me know what the most likely dip switches to be 
completely wrong are... I've got a 640k base memory.  Thanks a lot!
