[comp.os.msdos.desqview] When to use QEMM386.SYS /NOROM option?

wales@valeria.cs.ucla.edu (Rich Wales) (06/20/91)

The QEMM386 manual describes the NOROM option as follows:

    NOROM (NR) tells QEMM not to map the reboot page of the
    system ROM.  QEMM normally maps one 4K page of the system
    ROM in order to detect reboots.  QEMM386.SYS can often
    detect reboots without this process.  In this case, you
    may specify NOROM and save 4K of memory.

What determines whether a given system is one in which QEMM can detect
a reboot without this "reboot page" mapping setup?
