DOS Compatibility Card: Press ESC Twice to Bypass RAM Test 2/95


I have an 8 MB SIMM installed in my DOS Compatibility Card, and I cannot bypass the memory test when I startup MS-DOS. The screen instructs me to "Press ESC To Bypass Memory Test". Can I bypass the memory test?

To bypass the RAM memory test when you startup MS-DOS, you have to press the Esc (Escape) key twice, even though the screen instructs you only to "Press ESC to Bypass Memory Test". At this time it is not known why you must press the ESC twice, but it does let you bypass the memory test.
