   I think you are out of luck with this one.  What kind of memory board
is this?  I'll bet its sole purpose is to bring an XT up to its max memory
size of 640K.  If that's the case, I think you just wasted your money.

   A friend of mine did a similar thing about 4 years ago - the card still
sits unused.  If anyone knows differently, there are at least two people
who would like to know how to access this memory.
