Can anyone help me track down the proper EMM.SYS driver for the 386sx supersport? I purchased a used one that had EMM.SYS in the DOS on the hard drive (7001 bytes 9-15-88) but if I try to configure the machine for 2 megs of expanded memory and run DEVICE=EMM.SYS in the config.sys, the machine refuses to boot. Do I have the wrong driver or am I doing something wrong here? s -- Jack Wiggins NSTAR conferencing site 219-289-0287 internet: jackw@nstar.rn.com 1300 newsgroups - 8 inbound lines uucp: ..!uunet!nstar.rn.com!jackw 99 file areas - 4300 megabytes --- backbone news & mail feeds available - contact larry@nstar.rn.com ---

Do you have a driver called EMM386.SYS? I got both with my Toshiba, and EMM386.SYS will convert exTended memory to exPanded memory (on 386's only), while EMM.SYS will only work with "hardware capable of providing expanded memory under MS-DOS 4.0" (i.e. an expanded memory board). Zenith's OEM version of DOS will undoubtedly be different than Toshiba's, but look for a driver with '386' in the name. Failing that, check your firmware setup [Ctrl-Alt-Ins](?) and see if you can set up exPanded memory that way.
