Big question is though, this 386dx 40mhz had 4mb ram
and both DOS AND the BIOS were only reporting the 640k.
There was no upper memory reported in the AmiBIOS or in Dos!
Any guesses?

If you are using 4 1 meg 30 pin simms, I had this problem when
the second simm was bad.  I think it was more an incompatible
simm type, (the simms were all of mixed types), because
when I moved it to the 4th slot, I got 3.7 meg, when I was
expecting almost 4.0 since I had enabled the 386 BIOS
memory remapping of 384k upper memory to extended memory.
I chiefly used the extended ram for smartdrv, which wasn't
very sensitive, so I never determined if the simm was bad
or if there was another reason it was interfering with the
BIOS reported total installed memory.  The simms worked
fine in a 486 sx/25.
