Hi!  I have a Supersport 286E laptop with 1 meg of memory (no memory
expansion), and am having trouble getting software to recognize the
memory beyond 640K.  I can configure the remaining memory as EMS using
the BIOS setup with no problem, but setup won't allow me to configure it
as extended memory.  Certain programs (namely Mark Williams' Coherent)
will only recognize extended memory, and not expanded memory.  So, my
question is, is there any way at all that I can configure my remaining
memory as extended?  It's REALLY frustrating having a meg of RAM and
only getting 455K under Coherent.

Thanks!
-Matt
