I am trying to get extended memory to be emulated as expanded memory
on a Northgate 386 system. I add a
line in the config.sys file:
device=c:\dos\emm386.sys 256
which (1.) Makes 256K of the extended memory look like expanded memory
(2.) Steals 384K from system memory
(3.) Starts making characters disappear from the screen
I don't understand why (2.) would occur. (3.) probably occurs
because the emm386 driver and the VGA driver are overlapping in
memory, but I don't know how to correct the problem.
Can somebody explain what's going on? I'm sure that (3.) has
a simple solution.
Thanks,
Stuart Lichtenthal

Or download EMS40.SYS from one of the archive servers. EMM386 doesn't do real expanded memory emulation. jim =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= "The opinions expressed here in no way represent the views of Digital Equipment Corporation."
