| subject: | 286 XMS memory |
Hi All I have a 286/12 to setup, and have discovered that it has 1024k of XMS. I have loaded Himem.sys and that has allowed me to load DOS high. After doing this Both Mem /c and MSD reported that I had 980k of XMS free. I have had no experience of 286's (I jumped from XT's to 386's) and hoping someone can inform me as HOW I can get to use this 980k. Using the 386 method of loading EMM386 only results in an error message of "incorrect processor type" I have tried 2 progs that the manual advises can use XMS memory, but both these programs report that XMS memory is unanvailable. Is there something I am missing that will make this memory available for use?? HELP !!!!!
