[comp.os.minix] 1.5.0 Expanded Memory

des@musashi.wpd.sgi.com (Des Young) (04/13/90)

Hi,
  I know 1.5.0 is old history, but....
  I have expanded memory (not extended). I have been using it
successfully on 1.3 and 1.4, but am having problems on 1.50.
I have hardwired the get_ems_size call to return a fixed size.
I have substituted an expanded version of the ems_xfer in klib.x.
The problem is:
	when I boot, it reads the boot image correctly (the floppy),
	but... the information never gets written into the ram disk.
	It usually comes up just because there is a valid file system
	there from the last time EMS was used (when building the new
	boot disk under 1.4).
	So.. it appears EMS writes are not working. Has anyone seen
	this problem. Any hints???

Cheers, Des
