I have a DTK 2000 board with some two old (pre 1985) 2meg expansion
cards (not the DTK 32-bit cards).  I have also replaced the DTK bios 
with an AMI one, but that doesn't seem to change anything.

When I boot the machine, it complains about a memory error at 
	A0:FFFF 00FC, expected FFFF got FFFF

but tests all my memory, and proceeds to boot up.

However, when I try to boot ISC unix, it panics with a "Memory
error on an expansion board."

DOS and Windows/386 both work fine - and I know Windows is using
the memory because I have a smartdrv and can start up a slew of
large command processors, etc...

Does anybody know what's going on here, and if I replaced my old AT expansion
cards with the DTK one will my problem go away?

Has anyone gotten ISC Unix to run on a DTK Keen 2000 386 board?
