I am trying to increase the size and number of high memory regions
on my system using QEMM386.  The motherboard is a Contaq, and the
BIOS is by AMI (dated 12/12/91).  I also have a Diamond Speedstar 24X
and an Always IN-2000 SCSI controller (set to D800, but I can change
that, if necessary).  I've used Manifest and LOADHI to look at the
memory available and used, but I'm not sure what is really already
used and what isn't (and can therefore be remapped by QEMM386).  I
have used PC clones for a long time, and am comfortable with them,
but I have never had a need to mess with the high memory before.
What I'd like is some general pointers and hints to figure out the
actual memory map of the system.
