  I want to use the Upper Memory Area.  All the manuals I've got say you have
  to use EMM386.SYS to gain access to it.

  So far, so good.  But:  I have a RamQuest 8/16 memory board installed and
  I have to use their expanded memory manager, MM816.SYS.  EMM386.SYS will not
  load if MM816.SYS is installed -- even if I use the /noems switch.  Neither
  can EMM386.SYS access the memory on the RamQuest board.

  Am I up a creek without a paddle, unable to use the Upper Memory Area, or
  does someone out there have any suggestions?  This happen to anyone else?

  Thanks, folks.
