I have just completed a swap out of the motherboard on my 3.12
Fileserver. The new board is an Asustek Socket 7 with Aladin chipset,
AMD2-300 cpu and 128mb of PC100 ram. There are 2 mirrored IDE HDDs of
1.2gb each on the Primary IDE port and an additional unmirrored 5gb
drive on the Secondary port.

DOS registers all of the hardware correctly.

The drives are busmastered using the supplied Asustek novell driver
loaded in Startup.ncf as
LOAD ALI312.DSK /b /l port=170 int=F

Autoexec.ncf contains the command line 
SET AUTO REGISTER MEMORY ABOVE 16 MEGABYTES = ON

Volumes SYS, APPS, and DATA1 which are on the 1.2gb mirrored drives
all mount correctly.
Volumes DATA2 and DATA3 refuse to mount due to insufficient memory to
cache the volume.

MONITOR declares the Server memory to be only the 16mb limit.

Any suggestions?
