I have seen a number of discussions lately on the difference between extended and expanded memory on the PC. During those discussions, I saw mentions of LIM emulators, such as QEMM and LIMSIM. Now, the questions I have are... I have a Televideo '386 machine with 2 MB of RAM. I am running DOS (3.X) and I want to use the extra 1 MB of RAM as LIM 4.0 memory for software we are writing. Basically, we are using Intel Inboard 286s for some 286 machines and I would prefer to use the extra RAM I have already in the machine. 1) Are there any packages that would allow me to do this? Can you give me names and perhaps an address or phone number for a company contact? (If your company sells such a product here is a chance to justify your net access.) Are there any hidden gotchas in using such software? Hidden incompatibilities, etc.? 2) Will a LIM 4.0 emulator slow down the machine? Or, is the LIM software fast enough that performance is near that of a straight LIM board? I'm really unfamiliar with this whole topic of LIM et al, so any information will be helpful. 3) Will the Intel Inboard 286 work with a Televideo '386 machine? The 286 in the product name seems to imply no. I note that Intel also makes an Inboard _386_ which is a product that perhaps I will have to get. I would prefer to use the RAM already on board, but whatever works works... I can compile a summary for the net of any information that is emailed to me. Thank you for your help, -Eric -- Eric F.
