I've aquired a few 386sx-20 machines that are equipped with Chips 
and Tech chipsets, AMI BIOS dated 1990 and 8 of the older style 
30 "pin" SIMMS arranged in 4 banks.

The BIOS config option offers "BIOS setup" and "Xtended BIOS setup".

The "Xtended BIOS setup" indicates that 3 of the 4 memory banks are 
disabled.

Does anyone here have any idea how to enable these?

There does not appear to be a place in the BIOS config to enable 
them, and there are no jumpers on the motherboard that appear to do 
this. The computer will not detect memory installed beyond the 
first bank.

Any help is appreciated.
