What does AST Six Pack do?

[Tim Gillum]

My girlfriend picked up a used XT at a great deal but no doc's came with
it.

One of the boards is an AST Six Pack. What six(?) functions does it
perform? Considering there's a battery, it probably has a clock. And
I also figure there's memory. What else?

Would anybody out there know where I could get my hands on some doc's,
drivers, or the address of AST (e-mail or USPS) so I could ask them?

Any help would be appreciated and replies by e-mail are especially welcome.

Thanks,
-Tim

memory, clock, serial, parallel. That makes 4. Maybe two additional
(optional) ports to make 6.

Call their BBS at 714-727-4723 and download drivers, switch settings, etc.

The AST Six-Pack has:
clock/calendar
fill basic memory up to 640K (on motherboards socketed for less than 640K)
add expanded memory
use expanded memory for a ram disk and/or a print spooler
