This machine operates at 4.77 MHz. TESTAB will show parity chip row all bad (no other boards in the system). Backfilling from 256k to 640k worked but when EMM tries to load the computer will hang. Tech Note: Tested in 3 different systems of same configuration with minimal CONFIG.SYS and no AUTOEXEC.BAT files, results were the same. Intel Memory cards can provide conventional memory but not expanded memory in these systems. ITT XTRA *CUSTOMER REPORTS* of compatibility between these XT-Compatible computers and current Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic boards, also with the discontinued Above Board PC and PS/PC. ITT XTRA XP *CUSTOMER REPORTS* of INCOMPATIBILITY between this 80286-based computer and current Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic boards. This computer operates an 80286 CPU but only an 8bit data bus. We have reports it was compatible with the discontinued Above Board PC and PS/PC. Tech note: SETBOARD won't work since it has an 8- bit bus and 286 CPU. One customer reportedly installed the PC Selection plug and ran SETBOARD in another PC, then put the board back into the XTRA XP, and it worked for expanded memory after manually installing the AB Software. We haven't confirmed that this can work. KAMMERMAN LABS XT *CUSTOMER REPORTS* of compatibility between these XT-Compatible computers and current Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic boards. There are also reports of comptibility with the discontinued Above Board PC and PS/PC. KAYPRO PC *CUSTOMER REPORTS* of compatibility between these 8088-based computers and current Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic boards. We also have reports of compatibility with the discontinued Above Board 286 and PS/286. There are reports of compatibility between 4.77MHz models of the Kaypro PC and the discontinued Above Board PC and Above Board PS/PC. The original model Kaypro PC is a 4.77MHz system and cannot run at 8MHz. This system requires the 4.77 MHz 8087. If you are having trouble installing EMM, check the switches on the "combo-controller" board to see if the memory is configured as 640Kb. There are two switch blocks on this board. Switch block 1, switches 1-4 should be set ON ON OFF OFF respectively. The new model of the Kaypro PC is switchable from 4.77 to 8MHz, requires the 8087-2 math coprocessor, and may need to have switches 1-4 set to ON ON ON OFF respectively. You can differentiate between "old" and "new" Kaypro PC's by the speed switch. The older model doesn't have one! System has sockets for 128Kb of "DOS usable memory" above 640Kb. This memory may conflict with memory that the Above Board needs for its page frame address. LEADING EDGE MODEL D *CUSTOMER REPORTS* of compatibility with current Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic boards. Also have reports of compatibility with the discontinued Above Board 286 & PS/286. There are reports that the discontinued Above Board PC and PS/PC will only work in this system when it is operating at 4.77MHz. The new Model D has a turbo switch, can run at 4.77 or 7.16Mhz. It has a 640K motherboard. Intel memory boards will not backfill conventional memory. User must fill all 640K on motherboard. LEADING EDGE MODEL M *CUSTOMER REPORTS* of compatibility with current Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic boards. There are reports of compatibility with the discontinued Above Board 286 & PS/286. There are even reports of compatibility with Above Board PC and PS/PC in these computers when the computer was set to the 4.77MHz speed only. This older model runs at 4.77MHz and 7.16MHz. MEGATRONICS MOTHERBOARD *CUSTOMER REPORT* of compatibility between the 4.77 Mhz version of this XT-Compatible motherboard and current Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic boards. MITSUBISHI PC *CUSTOMER REPORTS* of compatibility between current Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic boards in these XT-Compatible computers. There are also reports of compatibility with the discontinued Above Board PC and PS/PC. System is similar to Leading Edge Model M. Has a switch (SW3) which must be turned on to use EMM. SW3 is on the back of the system. NCR PC6 *CUSTOMER REPORTS* of compatibility with current Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic boards in this 8088-based computer. Also have reports of compatibility with the discontinued Above Board PC and PS/PC. Older models of this computer cannot use BOTH 8087 and expanded memory at the same time. OLIVETTI M24 *CUSTOMER REPORTS* of compatibility with current Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic boards in these XT-Compatible computers. There are also Customer Reports of compatibility with these computers and the discontinued Above Board PC and PS/PC. PANASONIC FX-600 We have CUSTOMER REPORTS of Above Board INCOMPATIBILITY, although Panasonic has said that we are compatible. We have not tested the Matched Memory Classic board in this system and have had no customer reports of its compatibility. This is a XT compatible desktop machine. Runs at 4.77MHZ and 7.16MHZ. PANASONIC SR. PARTNER This machine has no IBM compatible expansion slots, however there is a 'slot extender' expansion chassis available. Customers report problems getting Above Boards to work in the slot extender. We have not tested the Matched Memory Classic with this slot extender and have had no customer reports concerning its compatibility with this slot extender. In 1986 Panasonic said they had a new revision of the slot extender that did work with Above Boards. We have had no customer reports of compatibility with this slot extender. PC'S LIMITED TURBO PC Current Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic boards will *NOT* work in this machine in the TURBO mode. They work fine when the machine is operated at 4.77 Mhz, but switching to the high speed causes various errors to occur such as Parity Check?????. This has been confirmed by both PC's Limited and Intel. SANYO MBC-775 8088 PORTABLE *CUSTOMER REPORTS* of compatibility between current Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic boards in these 8088 portables. Tech Note: One system locked whenever trying to load applications when the Intel memory card I/0 address was set for 208, (received "system parity error"). Set the AB I/O address to 258 and everything worked great. SIEMENS PC 1605 *CUSTOMER REPORTS* of compatibility with current Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic boards. There are also reports of compatibility with the discontinued Above Board PS and PS/PC. Tech Note: System made in Taiwan by MultiTech. SPERRY PC *CUSTOMER REPORTS* of compatibility with current Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic boards. There are also reports of compatibility with the discontinued Above Board PC and PS/PC. SPERRY PCHT *CUSTOMER REPORTS* of compatibility between these XT-compatible computers and current Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic boards.
