#Configuring with EMS
4 messages in this thread
I normally don't use expanded memory, however some CDROM programs seem
to either require it or benefit from it.
Is there anyway to load the EMS manager into the extended memory area and
not the UMB's, thereby taking away valuable space to load my device drivers
high.
Any help or same configurations would be appriciated.
John, check file Laser3.txt in Lib #4. It has a lengthy explanation of memory
usage, including how to load drivers & mscdex high and how to put buffers for
mscdex into expanded (sorry, no extended) memory.
I would doubt it. The EMS specification and functions seem to depend on the
page frame being in the first 1024K of addresses.
Matt, are we at cross-purposes? I didn't say that expanded memory or EMS
drivers could be loaded high, although the EMS page frame is located in an area
of upper memory, usually in the D or E segment. I was referring to CDROM
drivers and mscdex, which can both be loaded high, and continued to say that
the _buffers_ for mscdex can be loaded into expanded memory via the /E switch.
