Does anyone out there have any experience with a package called QRAM, from
Quarterdeck? It is a high memory loader program that supposedly works with
any IBM or compatible (PC upwards). I have seen a few ads for this package in
DDJ but would be interested to hear from anyone who has first hand knowledge
of the product.
Thanks in advance

QRAM is not shipping yet, and QOS hasn't announced when it will be. First hand knowledge will be difficult to come by at the moment. QOS is, though, accepting orders for it and will not charge credit cards until shipping. Call +1 213 392 9851 and ask for Sales to get more information or Orders to order. QRAM is not a general solution for PC users suffering from RAM cram. It will only work with EMS 4.0 or EEMS memory and will only load into "high memory"; that is, memory addressed between 640K and 1024K.

I don't have any experience with it, but would guess from the ads that it works by permanently mapping EMS pages to gaps in high memory. If my guess is right, then it'll only work with EMS boards with spare mapping registers. Can anyone tell me how to determine how many mapping registers my EMS board has? (It's the XT board from Boca Research, and is LIM 4.0 compatible, but can't run Desqview.) Duncan Murdoch
