Sorry if this is a very stupid question, but the term EEMS keeps coming up (it's all over the DESQview manual) and I don't know what it is. I have a 286 with *hardware* LIM EMS 4 support (Tandon Target) is this by any chance the same as EEMS ?? And hopefully someone with lots of Tandon hardware knowlegde can answer this one too: When I add memory to my system, will it be available as EMS 4 memory too? I currently have 384K of extended/EMS memory, the `Tandon' way to expand memory is using a piggyback board close to the main memory, but this piggyback board is *expensive* (dfl 500,- or about $300 here in Holland) An everex board is much cheaper. Will this work too? (If it works at all) And one final question, which I do not suppose gets answered, but anyway: I know my machine has all the hardware functionality that QEMM needs, but sadly enough QEMM doesn't know how to handle this hardware, is there possibly a fixup for this, say, a TEMM which is just as good as QEMM available??
