There seem to have been a rash of postings (not all of which from root@unix.SRI.COM !) about VGA cards clashing with expanded memory managers. A fuller description of all this occurs in the "From The Top" column in the June 1989 edition of Personal Computer World. Briefly, the VGA driver defaults to using the same area of memory as the ex.mem driver; often the VGA driver allocates the memory (between 640K and 1M) first and locks out or interferes with the ex.mem driver. The solution PCW's editor used was to relocate the video BIOS in RAM elsewhere. Hope this helps, -- Martin Howe (This posting is private, and NOT on behalf of UKC)
