[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Extended memory?

roy%cybrspc@cs.umn.edu (Roy M. Silvernail) (02/15/91)

The company I work for has just purchased an XT clone for some process
control work. This motherboard has 1024k installed on it (as 4 banks of
2 44256's).

I'm not really familiar with extended memory usage. Do I need a driver
to access this extra memory, or is it automatically considered extended?
The only drivers I see on SIMTEL seem to be for Expanded Memory, and are
286-specific. I'm interested in getting 4dos to swap out to the high
memory, and also setting up a small RAMdisk. Any help you folk may offer
will be appreciated! (if you post, please cc: me in e-mail, so I'll be
sure to see it... thanks!)
