I am using QEMM on a 386 and am having a problem getting the
memory sort feature to work the way I want it to.
My computer in an IBM AT with an accelerator board. The
accelerator board provides 2MB of 32bit fast memory starting at
address 10000H. I have additional (slower, 16 bit) memory
starting at address 30000H. I need to run a 1.5MB Vdisk and a 1MB
disk cache. VDISK and the disk cache use memory starting at
10000H, and QEMM uses memory starting at the maximum memory
address and moving downwards, so in order to avoid conflicts I
have told QEMM that EXT=2.5MB so that QEMM does not try to manage
the memory used by VDISK and the cache.
The problem is that when QEMM does not manage a hunk of memory it
also does not sort that memory by speed. I would like QEMM to
swap at least 640K of the fast memory into the base memory rather
than using my fast memory for a VDISK (which is a total waste).
I can't find a way to do this. Anybody have any ideas?
Quarterdeck said "Wait for QEMM 5.0, it might solve your problem"
but the technical support person didn't know for sure if it
would.
Any and all ideas appreciated. VDISK and the cache don't want to
move, and the fast memory on the accelerator board doesn't want
to move (or at least I don't want to move it now - I'd prefer to
find another solution).
