Using EMM386.SYS
EMM386SYS is an expanded memory manager that lets you
use extended memory to emulate expanded memory so that you
can use application programs that support LIM EMS.
Note
Do not use EMM386.S YS if you installed an expanded
memory
option card.
Use the device driver that came
with
the memory card. See the documentation that came with the
card for instructions.

of the hard disk or diskette from which you load MS-DOS. For
example, if EMM386.SYS is in a directory called \DOS on
drive C, include the pathname, like this:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.SYS
