TOPIC


    I have a Power Macintosh 6100 with a DOS Compatibility Card installed. I am unable to get EMM386 working. The user's manual discourages the use of memory management tools, so I'm wondering if the DOS Compatibility Card supports EMM386? If so, how do I get it working?

DISCUSSION


    The DOS Compatibility card supports upper memory. To access upper memory make the following change to your config.sys file:

    If you are using PC Setup 1.0.7, the lines are:

    DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=C800-CFFF RAM=D000-EFFF

    or

    DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE X=C800-CFFF RAM=D000-EFFF

    For PC Setup 1.5, the command lines are:

    DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS I=CA00-CBFF X=CC00-CFFF RAM=D000-EFFF

    or

    DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE I=CA00-CBFF X=CC00-CFFF RAM=D000-EFFF

    Depending on how you have configured the file, config.sys should look similar this:

    DEVICE=C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE
    DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /TESTMEM:OFF
    DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE X=C800-CFFF RAM=D000-EFFF
    DOS=HIGH,UMB
    FILES=30
    LASTDRIVE=M

    This information is also provided in the DOS Compatibility Card Read Me File.
