I just purchased a SpeedSTAR SuperVGA card hoping to upgrade my 3MB Z-248 system, model ZBF-2526-EK. Well, VGA seems to work just fine, what a change. The problem? I now get memory parity errors whenever I attempt to access, via either EMM or XMS, my additional 2MBs of RAM. I've tried both a Zenith version of DOS 4.0 with it's included EMM.SYS, and a generic MS-DOS 5.0 and it's include HIMEM.SYS. In each case I changed my setup to the correct of either extended or expanded memory. Has anyone had any luck with a SpeedSTAR? Thanks in advance!! Michael
