I thought the idea of using >E0000-EFFFF was neat but this goes even further! My computer uses the AMI BIOS, and it also only needs F800-FFFF after bootup; I have QEMM-386 using E800-F7FF for the EMS page frame. More memory! Heheheheh... Incidentally, what is the most recent release of AMI's BIOS? Mine is dated September 25, 1988, which seems pretty old. -- Jason Merrill jmerrill@jarthur.claremont.edu
