In my original posting on this matter, I failed to mention two things. First, you have to set up the machine to use the Expansion RAM as EMS. This is done using the monitor and the setup command. (See page 3-7 of the SupersPort 286 Portable Computer Owner's Manual)(The thin one that came with the machine). Second, the first posting was not based on what I believe, but on how my SupersPort 286 is configured. (It is also based on the Documentation that came with the machine.)
