I recently purchased a ZEOS 486DX2-66 system and also got the
256K cache upgrade option.  The system shipped with the cache
but I am unable to determine if the system is acknowledging
it's presence.

Does anyone know of a way to test for additional cache memory?

I have pulled the cache and have not experienced any degrading
effects on performance.  I will readily admit that I am not sure
if my "test" results are accurate.

I have heard some rumblings from ZEOS tech support folks that this
item does not work and I am wondering if I have purchased vaporware...

PS:  There is no configuration for the cache in the BIOS setup, nor
does it show up at boot time.

Email or post your responses.  Thanks.
