The generic first time post message follows.. Gee.. Ahh.. This is my first post... I have seen this but has it really been answerd? I am looking for an EMM driver for a 286. I need to be able to put drivers above the 640k. I know of Quarterdecks stuff put how about PD? Anybody ever heard of such a thing? capt.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Those who say it can't be done will eat the dust of those doing it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim "Capt."

Only a 386 can remap exTENded memory to exPANded using software only. If you
have a 286, you need to have an exPANded memory board, then you can use programs
that will add to the available exPANded memory by remapping exTENded memory.
There is a program on simtel20, et al., called HRAM1.ZIP, which is supposed to
be a QRAM clone. This may help you.

Yes there is software abundant to do what you want, but NO, you probably do not have the correct hardware to do it. On 386 machines, hardware XMS support is built in because of the chip architecture. The only way you can get this on a 286 is by having the correct NEAT CHIPSET which supports this, or by purchasing an INTEL ABOVEBOARD or similar hardware implementation of XMS. On commercial product to recomment is TURBO-EMS, and another is QRAM (by QEMM folks). They will both relocate your drivers and TSR's up in high memory (IF YOU HAVE THE HARDWARE!!!) -- ----- Dion Hollenbeck (619) 455-5590 x2814 Megatek Corporation, 9645 Scranton Road, San Diego, CA 92121 uunet!megatek!hollen or hollen@megatek.uucp
