+                 RAMPAGE CONFLICT WITH IBM PC I
+
+
+An  incompatibility exists between the AST Rampage!  product  and 
+the  IBM  PC-1  (with 64K motherboard).   The  problem  has  been 
+isolated  to  those machines with the early ROM  BIOS,  which  is 
+dated 1981.
+
+The  user  will  get a "PARITY CHECK 2" error as the  machine  is 
+booting.   The message appears on the screen as the REMM.SYS file 
+is executing.
+
+One  solution to this problem is the use of the "/X" option  when 
+configuring  REMM.SYS  file.   The exact command should  read  as 
+follows:
+
+                  DEVICE=REMM.SYS /X=8800-A000
+
+This  will  keep REMM from "looking at" RAM between  the  top  of 
+conventional  memory  (544K  on  the early  PC's)  and  the  640K 
+boundary, where REMM would normally start checking. 
+
+Another  solution  to this problem is to obtain from IBM the  ROM 
+BIOS update kit.   The "/X" part of the above command should  not 
+be used.
