I Have a True Blue IBM AT 6 mhz 286 with 512 RAM (1985 vintage).  I would like
to plug in an Aboveboard to bring my memory up to a reasonable level (1MB) but
I am running into a problem.  The system boots fine, finds the memory on the
Power On Self Test but the gives me an error, resets the memory to 512K and
tells me to run setup.  I don't have setup (this was a freebie system).  I
phoned IBM and all the local dealers and nobody got nuthin'.  IBM tech support
told me that no such animal existed but they did not sound too confident.  

To make a long story short, has anyone got it, heard of it or can give me a
definitive answer on it's existance. Thanks.
