Epson Equity IIe, User Manual

Page: 139 / 276

The /Pn switch specifies input/output ports the Equity IIe uses.
Use this switch only if you experience a conflict with an option
card installed in your computer. On the Equity IIe, the input/
output ports EEMM286.SYS uses are 2n8, 12n8, 42n8, 52n8,
82n8, 92n8, C2n8, D2n8. The n represents a hexadecimal value
between 0 and f. The default value of n is 0. For example,
DEVICE=EEMM286.SYS
/Pa specifies the following ports:
2a8,12a8,42a8,52a8,82a8,92a8, C2a8, D2a8.
Do not use the /Pn switch if you are using extended memory
as expanded memory.
(EEMM286.SYS ignores
the /Pn
switch
if you
include the size parameter,)
The /F switch provides compatibility with programs that support
LIM Expanded Memory Specification version 3.2 but not
version 4.0. If an application program you are using displays an
error message related to expanded memory, try adding the /F
switch, like this:
D E V I C E = E E M M 2 8 6 . S Y S / F
The /T switch tells EEMM286.SYS to test all allocated memory
each time you turn on or reset your computer. You do not need
to use this option if you are using on-board memory modules as
expanded memory. The Equity IIe automatically tests any
expanded memory on memory modules.
The /W switch is required if you want to use extended memory
as expanded memory with Microsoft Windows or Microsoft
Excel. Also use the STARTEMM command before running
Windows or Excel. One way to do this is to use a batch file to
run Windows or Excel and include the STARTEMM command
at the beginning of the batch file. (Be sure the
STARTEMM.EXE file is in the current directory or a directory
specified in a PATH or APPEND command.)
