In another thread, I discussed a few issues I had with my new IBM PC/AT.

Inside the computer was an Intel Above Board containing 640k of memory. This, plus the 512k onboard made for 640k base and 512k expanded (forgive me if I get the terms wrong).
I have 16 more 256kbit (total of 512k) memory chips that I would like to add to make 640k base, 1MB expanded.

The problem I face is the DIP switches for configuring the memory board. They are pre-configured for the current 640k configuration. That config contains 16 64kbit chips in banks 1 and 2, and 16 256kbit chips in banks 3 and 4. If anyone has the schematics or switch settings, please share. Here is a picture of the board.
