5Ch

Test RAM between 512K and 640K.

60h

Determine and test the amount of extended
memory available. Determine if memory
exists by writing to a few strategic locations
and see if the data can be read back. If so,
perform an address-line test and a RAM test
on the memory. Save the total extended
memory size in the CMOS at cmosExtended.

62h

Perform an address line test on A0 to the
amount of memory available. This test is
dependent on the processor, since the test
will vary depending on the width of mem-
ory (16 or 32 bits). This test will also use A20
as the skew address to prevent corruption
of the system memory.

64h

Jump to UserPatch1. See "The POST Compo-
nent."

CMOS is valid, unless auto configuration is
