AST Six-Pack Boot Error Code and Clock Program Request

I recently (earlier this evening) picked up a used AST Six-Pack
multifunction card for my IBM PC (yes, it's really made by IBM and
it's really a PC, not an XT, AT, or PS/2 :-) to expand its memory
from 256K to 640K.

The board came sans documentation and support software.  It has an
onboard clock, but I don't have the program to run the clock
(CLOCK.SYS? CLOCK.COM?), so if anyone owns a Six-Pack and has the
appropriate program I would really appreciate being able to get a
copy.

Also, when I boot the PC, the numbers 4098 201 appear on the screen.
Is this something I should be worried about?  A problem with the RAM
test?  The PC seems to work okay, but I haven't tried to run a program
requiring more than 256K yet.

				Thanks in advance,

				Brian
