The Intel board will work with the 286 BB when they are the only cards sitting in the AT Bus. It will not work when most other available PC/AT cards are also in the bus. Take Thomas' advice and exchange the Intel board for something that allows both the page frame address and the mappable registers to be changed. BTW you might want to get Quarterdecks's system analyser Manifest. It gives invaluable information on what's using the memory adresses between 640K-1M and is very useful when you are trying to optimze board configurations. It certainly proved invaluable when I set up AST's Rampage Plus 286. You might also want to get QRAM (from the same company). It allows you to "reclaim" conventional memory you've lost to DOS, drivers, ram disk pointers etc. I am using DOS 4.01, a ram disk, a disk cache etc and still have 660K of memory available for applications. It really is MeSsy DOS isn't it.
