Is there any QEMM user out there who has a 386-25 motherboard with an AMI BIOS that supports memory interleaving, BIOS shadow, and Video shadow? I need some advice on optimizing my system. A copy of config.sys would be highly appreciated. -- Victor Menayang victor@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu (Internet) vm@UTXVM (BITNET) ...!cs.utexas.edu!ut-emx!rtf1000 (UUCP) -------------------------------------------------------------

I have a 386-25 system with 2MB memory and the options Victor refers to. Mine has a chips and technology chip set to control things like shadow ram and interleave. I too want to know enough about QEMM to say how one optimizes it, but at present can only add uncertainty: My impression, which I hope someone will comment on, is that in fact it's a struggle just to get QEMM to do anything useful with the shadow ram in use, because the shadow ram plus the ram on my video and ethernet adapters use up much of the memory that would be available for QEMM to use for Loadhi. QEMM does provide simulated EMS memory for programs that can use it. Also- I don't think it makes any difference to QEMM whether your memory is interleaved or not- that would likely be transparent to QEMM, and to the CPU as well!
