I don't think you can add _real_ memory (not EMM or something like this) with an ISA board. You need some sort of a ``local bus'' for it, most ISA boards i've seen with such a thing had something like a reverse ISA slot designed for a proprietary memory expansion. The ISA bus itself is IMHO too slow. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
