Does anybody know a way to use EMS services and High Ram (for TSRs) without going into Virtual 8086 mode on a 386 ? I've been told that boards based on a C&T chipset can do both... Can anybody verify this? If so, what programs (Mem Manager) support these features? (ShareWare, if possible, or not too expensive) Thanks in advance -- Massimo Fasciano (fasciano@iro.umontreal.ca)

I have used a program called Qemm386 that will change 386 extended memory to expanded memory with it comes a utility that will load tsr's into the expanded memory it seems to work well but takes a long time to get it tweaked out in performance. Qemm has a bad habit of taking all available memory (and sometimes unavailable) and using it as expanded. It will use video memory and memory from the HD controller both of which cause problems. YOu have to check and recheck and finally use several exlude statements to get it to stop. Hope this helps Ken -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- N.W.

Some non-standard configurations confuse it, and this is especially true of systems that use ROM shadowing. Fortunately, QEMM also comes with Manifest, a memory-analysis tool which you should run even *before* you install QEMM, just to make sure that there aren't any hidden gotchas in your system. jim =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= "The opinions expressed here in no way represent the views of Digital Equipment Corporation."
