Is there still 4 empty sockets on the motherboard?  That machine should be
produce a 768k TPA, 640k regular, and 128k UMB.  Yes, it is weird, but
that because the Tandy has the regular CGA mapped to (of course) B800h,
the empty sockets are supposed to fill memory in between A000h and B800h,
which is normally used for TGA, but if TGA is not _ever_ going to be used,
then you should be able to access this extra memory with no problem.
