I have a cheap old Ali M1209 chipset 386sx motherboard. http://www.win3x.org/uh19/motherboard/show/6283
I want to run windows 95 on the board just for fun.
I have 7 good 9-chip 1 MB simms (+1 bad one).
The board works reliably with 2x or 4x 9-chip simms.
Only detects 1 MB of ram when I try 6 simms and is not stable.
I tried some known good 3 chip 1MB simms but Memtest fails pretty quickly. That's not too surprising for a 1991 board.
It doesn't recognize any of the 9 chip or 3 chip 4MB simms that I have. That surprised me.
Does anyone know if any Ali M1209 boards supported 4MB simms?
Is there any way to find out by poking around in the BIOS dump?
