The OS/2 setting is gone from most BIOSs because it only applied to OS/
2.1 and earlier.

Humm. That is odd. There was a problem with detecting over 512MB and I
thought it was fixed in 14.093c. Maybe no. You might want to try a newer
testcase kernel.

>Any ideas as to how to get eCS to recognize the second 512 MB of RAM?

It's a kernel issue, so you are one the right path. You might try Dani's
PATCHLDR and see what it reports.
