You can't run enhanced mode without at least 1Mb of extended memory.  The
"dedicated 385Kb" is probably (likely) shadow RAM into which the BIOS is
loaded in order to speed access to system routines.  Otherwise, the slow
16 bit wide ROM would make the system crawl.

More memory helps a great deal, or run 286 protect mode just as good IMHO 
unless you are running DOS apps.
