[comp.sys.ibm.pc] 386Phoenix BIOS question

huilin@hpindda.HP.COM (Hui-Lin Lim) (02/10/90)

In a recent issue of InfoWorld, Steve Gibson wrote that he
upgraded his systems to 386s and that with Phoenix BIOS you can
disable the first 32K (f000-f800) so that 386Max (presumeably
QEMM) can use that as high DOS memory.  Does anyone know if this
is true for all 386 versions of the Phoenix BIOS?

True for the 1.10 10a version shipped by Gateway 2000.	Runs just fine here
with the EMS frame from E800 to F7FF (overlapping the first 32K of the BIOS).
