My Z-171, loaded with 640k, seems to report that the upper 24k is missing. This continues to be reported as I remove ram from 640 to 576 to 512 to 256kB. Always top 24k is "missing".
Checkit reports it as reserved, chis is the same notation as addresses above 640kB.
If I ask Checkit to test from 616k to 640k, it seems to report that this memory is fine. Strange!
I suspect the RAM is there and working, in addresses 09A000h to 09FFFFh.
Would it be believable that the Zenith BIOS steals some system RAM for other uses? OR - do I have an actual hardware problem somewhere?
thanks,
