Using Memory Beyond 640KB
The Equity IIe comes with 1MB of random access memory.
MS-DOS and your application programs that run under
MS-DOS use the first 640KB of memory. You can use the
memory between 640KB and 1MB as extended or expanded
memory. If your computer has more than 1MB of random access
memory on SIMMS, you can also use this additional memory as
extended or expanded memory.
Expanded memory can be used by certain application programs
(such as Lotus 1-2-3®) that support the Lotus/Intel/Microsoft
Expanded Memory Specification (LIM EMS). To use expanded
memory, you must do the following:
Copy the files EEMM286.SYS and STARTEMM.EXE from
your Reference diskette to the root directory of the hard
disk or the Startup diskette from which you load MS-DOS.
You may put EEMM286.SYS and STARTEMM.EXE in a
directory other than the root directory by adding the
appropriate pathname to the DEVICE= line. (For more
information on adding a pathname, see “Using
EEMM286SYS” below.)
Modify the file CONFIG.SYS, which is stored in the root
directory of the hard disk or diskette from which you load
MS-DOS.
If you have a word processing program that can save a file as a
text-only file (also called an ASCII text file), you can use that
program to modify the CONFIG.SYS file. Start your word
processing program, load the file CONFIG.SYS, and then add
the following line to the file:
DEVICE=EEMM286.SYS
