I gather that IBM makes an expanded memory card known as an XMA, and sells it mostly to people who have 3270 PCs. (It was apparently the solution to the problem that the resident code for the 3270 emulaton system takes up about 639 1/2 K.) The usual technical reference manuals are silent on the topic of how the XMA card works. Does anybody know? Has anybody actually programmed one? There is some speculation that it might be sufficiently similar to an Above Board that we could easily mutate some Above Board code to deal with one. Any help would be appreciated. -- John R.
