Conventional Memory (0 Through 640K)
Your 4MB JANUS device has 4MB of battery-backed dynamic RAM. The first
640K is conventional memory and is virtually the same as that of a PC. You can
use this memory to run applications. The MS-DOS 6.2 operating system loads
at 0 (zero) and works up, followed by the statements and drivers in the
CONFIG.SYS file, then COMMAND.COM, TSR (terminate and stay resident)
programs, and commands in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file just like a PC.
Upper Memory Area
The area between the 640K and 1024K is known as the upper memory area.
The upper memory area is physically composed of a 256K flash ROM chip
(system flash) and the video memory chip under the DRAM memory. Like a
PC, this area contains the BIOS and video buffers. The upper memory area also
contains PC card memory and Intermec JANUS driver software. The 384K
upper memory area maps just above 640K conventional memory.
