SENSATION! (250-1651)    Customizing Memory for EMS    Faxback Doc. # 3262

Using the following CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT will give you 2 MB of EMS
(expanded) memory, while still keeping the highest amount of free
conventional memory.  Also listed is an addition to the SYSTEM.INI file.

Note:  By default, Windows will not load when using the monochrome memory
       region (B000-B7FF) as extended memory.  A system with SVGA can use
       the monochrome region with an addition to the SYSTEM.INI file.  Use
       a text editor and add the following line under the [386Enh] section:

	  DEVICE=C:\DOS\MONOUMB.386

       The file MONOUMB.386 should be in the DOS directory.  With this line
       added, B000-B7FF can be used as extended memory, and Windows will
       work fine.

* EMM386 is using XMX memory to simulate EMS memory as needed.
  Free EMS memory may change as free XMX memory changes.

Largest free upper memory block         23,792    (23K)
MS-DOS is resident in the high memory area.
