I recently purchased a used XT clone running a NEC V20 chip, Juko 2.2
bios, and dos 3.3.  When I turn the machine on, the memory check counts
up to 1024K, even though DOS, PC Tools, etc. only see 640K.

I cannot identify a particular extended memory board (at least, if there
is one it is not labelled as such).  How would I go about accessing this
extra memory? The XT did not come with an extended memory driver or anything
obvious like that.

Thanks,
Maurice
