[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Expanded memory emulator

snowden@cray.com (Jim Snowden) (02/20/91)

Please could you let me know of any expanded memor emulator drivers that
I could use with my PC to turn some of its extended memory into expanded memory.The PC is a Packard Bell 286 Force 1 with EMS/LIM 4.0 extended memory (2 Mb).
I got a driver from PB that does this emulation, but it takes away about
130 Kbytes of RAM when it is loaded (leaving too little to run some
applications).

Thanks,

Jim Snowden

I have a question/comment about your question. Isn't EMS/LIM for
exPANDed memory??? I thought XMS/LIM was for extended memory. Also, I
thought I read somewhere that extended memory was only a function of
386's and above... Was that person wrong??? I have a '486 and I got
windows. I use the emm386.sys that is included with windows as a
expanded memory emulator (I have 4Mb extended memory)
