Your machine has more RAM than normal addressing can handle.  The system adds 
this amount of RAM to what it would normally take, apparently to account for 
the unusable portion or RAM.  So, under normal (24 bit, I believe) addressing,
you can't have more than 8 meg RAM.  Your system takes up 1.6 meg.  Add that
to the 4 meg RAM you can't use that's "attributed" to the System Software, and
you have your answer.
