[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] EMM and Memory page interleaving, can they coexist?

victor@walt.cc.utexas.edu (Victor Menayang) (04/30/91)

My 386-25 machine has a memory page interleaving capability,
but I noticed that if I install an extended memory manager
(e.g. himem.sys) this capability is disabled.
Is there any way I could get them both work>
Any help should be greatly appreciated.

Configuration: 386-25, 8mb RAM, AMI BIOS, DOS 4

Hi,

	I too have an AMI bios and running Dos 4.01, how did you detect your
memory page interleave is turned off? I am running QEMM 5.11 as a memory
manager, I also have a Syquest driver and now experimenting with stacker to
see if it works in a Syquest cartridge (need to store 30Mb of gif files ;-)

	The shop I bought my computer from says that I cannot change my 4Mb
ram (using 256K simms) to 1Mb simms because I loose the memory interleave.
As with the question above how do I detect it is functioning in the first place.


	Thanks alot.


Regards,

Michael

If you want to store GIF files, stacker will not help at all. The compression
ratio would be around 1:1. Stacker also doesn't work well with LHARC files.
