    This service is available only for the AT and XT-286.

    The amount of memory returned by this service is stored in the
    CMOS battery. It is determined and set during power-on.

    For the memory above the 1024K range to be usable, the planar
    memory (memory on the system board) must be fully populated. The
    memory above the 1024K range is often called "extended" memory.
