[bit.listserv.novell] Netware, Zenith 386 extended memory

WOOGIE@UFPINE.BITNET (02/03/90)

        We have several Zenith 16 Mhz 386's with their 4-meg memory boards.
(1 Meg base, 3 megs extended/expanded depending on the switch settings)  The
problem is that we cannot access the extra memory at all when we load the
Netware workstation software.  If we set the switch settings for expanded
memory and use the Zenith emm.sys, the machine locks up when we try to load
any program that accesses expanded memory.  The same is true when we try
setting it for extended and using qemm.sys from Desqview 386.  (There all
are all sorts of parameters needed to get it to work on the Zenith at all.)
We are using the packet drivers, but the problem also occurs when we use
ipx for the board (we use WD8003e's).  Has anyone out there been able to
get some use out of this memory?

Have you tried excluding part of the memory (640K - 1MB) where your
NIC driver resides?  You can do this using QEMM.
