[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Extended to EMS memory

jas@ISI.EDU (Jeff Sullivan) (02/27/90)

How does one go about turning extended mnemory on a PS/2 M70 into
EMS so that other programs can use the memory?  Are there any PD or
shareware options?  What are the good commercial options?  

If you could email as well as post, it'd be appreciated, as our feed
on this group is sporadic.

I'm not sure of public domain software, however I use Quarterdeck's Expanded
Memory Manager (QEMM) that converts extended memory into expanded. I use it
in conjunction with Desqview 2.26 and have had very good luck with it. All of
the applications I have run (and there are a LOT of them) with QEMM have had
no problems. QEMM Requires a 386.

386 To the Max is very popular too, however I haven't used it in its entirety.
I have used ILIM386 (Intel's scaled down 386 to the Max program that's supplied
with Microchannel Above Boards and Inboards) and it seems to work fine also.
You might want to have a look around on the Intel BBS for more information.
(503) 645-6275 (2400 Baud, N, 8, 1). I think there might be an ILIM386 for
386 Microchannel machines that might work without an Above Board. Go ahead and
try it.
