That's strange, I have to use REGISTER MEMORY 1000000 1000000 to get my
3.12 server running on a Pentium P166 board which has both PCI and EISA
to recognise the 32MB on board. Without it Netware only recognises 16MB.

Still, at least the REGISTER MEMORY command actually works on my system
so I suppose I ought to be grateful!
