Anyway back to the job in hand, mostly been playing with software and playing around on how I want the hard drive partitions set up on the 286. However, also installed the extra 1mb RAM on the video card and again it did not recognise it, so installed the capacitors next to the banks, and passed …

depending on the mainboard chipset you might not even be able to address anything in that range on the isa bus. Afaik some chipsets route any access to any address in the f0000 range to the bios sockets. cmiiw

1. yep 2. decoupling capacitors, so your guess is likely good 3. ? no idea, might be another decoupling cap on a lower voltage line 4. this eeprom normally contains the PnP info, if i'm not mistaken. No idea if it will work without it.

Why did you expect I would read your boot.ini ? OP was talking about two drives, each with an OS, and then you come along with a bunch of OS on one drive. Anyway, enough. you've had your say, I've had mine. This isn't adding anything to OP question.
