Testing the Kingston EMS Driver

Restart the computer to activate the Kingston EMS driver. When the driver is active,
the following message appears:
Kingston Expanded Memory Manager Version 1.x
Kingston EMS Add-in Board Installed
1 Alternate Register Set(s) Found
256 EMS Pages Found (4096KB)
Total Memory Available for EMM Use = 4096KB
If an error message appears, refer to Appendix C, "Troubleshooting."

Command Line Options

Optional command line parameters are provided for customizing the Kingston EMS
driver for different environments. Options must be separated by one or more spaces.
Spaces are optional before and after the '-' and '=' symbols. The options are as
follows:
HANDLES = hhh
Specifies the number of handles and names available. Handles are the values the
memory manager assigns to identify a block of memory requested by an application
program. Each application that uses Extended or Expanded memory requires at least
one handle. Some need more than one, and they let you know if they run out of
handles. The parameter hhh must be in the range 16 to 255.
handle/name increases the amount of memory required and decreases the amount
available to the application program. The default (64) should be adequate for most
purposes.
EXCLUDE = xxxx [-cccc]
Specifies an area of memory that should not be under the control of the driver. The
parameters xxxx and cccc specify the range of memory to be excluded. The xxxx
parameter should be a multiple of 16KB (that is, end in 00). For example if a network
card had memory at address CC00, then EXCLUDE = CC00-CFFF should be used.
Note that the driver checks for the presence of ROM/RAM in the range A000-FFFF,
