I am running on a DELL 200 (286) with Phoenix BIOS V3.10 A09
and CHIPS NEAT EMM 4.0 V1.42 and/or V2.01.

Version 2.01 of the EMM won't work correctly unless you set
all memory to expanded and none to extended. So, I did.
I also set both RAMDRIVE and SMARTDRIVE to use expanded.
I left HIMEM.SYS in and it quit with an error (no extended)
during startup.

Windows came up in real mode. I started Micrographix Designer 3.01.
I got a message that there was not enough memory to initialize
Designer. I tried to start it again, and it started and worked fine.
Thereafter, disk was trashed.

I am not sure why it happened, but that is the exact sequence that
caused it. I am not about to try all expanded again or EMM 2.01.
I am trying to get hold of both Chips and Phoenix as the problem
is clearly in one of those places (DELL is not being helpful on
this one.)

By the way, I absolutely need expanded for WordPerfect and Ventrua.
I apparently also absolutely need extended for Windows. Since I have
8 MB, I want to set 3 MB expanded and 4 MB extended -- that's where
the EMM doesn't work right.
