I am a computer tech at this college and need some info. I am doing some work  
on the side for a chiro in my hometown, and we decided he needed to upgrade the  
memory to make it run better (just installed Novell Lite). No problem so far.  
The memory expansion card is already installed and has 2 banks of 64K chips  
already installed to bring the At up to 640K(512 on the mother board, 128 on  
the expansion card. So, I put the 64k chips I have into the remaining banks,  
then realize that I need to know waht the 2 dip switches settings are. The card  
Is made by someone called CSS Labs, Inc. 1986  and is called "Turbo RAM" on the  
board. No other info is on the board. It has SW1 as a four dip, and SW2 as an  
eight dip. Anyone know what the settings for this board is? Can it do 256k  
chips? Can the AT handle extended memory in other than 512k increments (that is  
the impression I got when I went to set the Setup info in CMOS). Any help would  
be appreciated. (The chiro bought it from someone else, so the documentation is  
slightly lacking, and we don't do IBM very much here on campus)
