[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] EMS *as* XMS

I posted this to comp.sys.laptops last week... without much luck.
Perhaps someone who knows how various memory cards and drivers operate
might be able to help.

I have a Zenith SupersPort 286 laptop with 1 Meg of Ram.  As far as I
can determine, I am able to have access to the memory beyond the 640K
conventional memory only when it is expanded.  I can configure the
computer with the memory setup as (conventional/expanded) 640K/256K
or 512K/384K .  When I setup the computer with the memory as extended,
it is unaddressable.  HIMEM.SYS can't find it.
 
I would like to be able to address that extra 1/4 megabyte as extended,
so that I could use MS-Windows, which needs the 256K as extended rather
than as expanded.
 
Any suggestions?
