If you are using a National Cash Register (NCR) 4000 series (3350 class)
Micro Channel Architecture computer and you run the MS-DOS MEM command,
your system may not report extended memory over 16 megabytes.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, you must use the NCR Reference Disk to change
your system's memory recognition feature from Standard to Max 64 MB. To do
this:
- Insert the NCR Reference Disk in drive A and restart your system.
- At the main menu, choose Configuration.
- Choose Change, then choose Internal Options.
- Choose DOS MEMORY REPORTING and select Max 64 MB.
- Press the F10 key to save your changes.
- Press the ESC key until the system reboots.
MORE INFORMATION
The Standard option uses traditional BIOS calls to limit the memory that is
reported to MS-DOS. Selecting the Max 64 MB option allows recognition of
more than 16 MB (up to 64 MB).
