Installing Kingston EMS Driver
YYYYY This parameter tells KEMM.SYS
where the start of extended
memory is to use. Use the follow-
ing formula to specify the amount
of expanded memory for the ex-
panded mode:
YYYYY=TOTAL MEMORY (KB)+384 -
AMOUNT OF EXPANDED MEMORY (KB)
Example, if your system has a total
of 8MB (8,192KB) of memory,
640KB of base memory and
7,552KB of extended memory, and
you want to have 2MB (2,048KB) of
expanded memory, do the follow-
ing:
YWYY=8192+384 - 2048=8428
Then you can specify the BASE
parameter like this:
BASE=8428
222 This parameter specifies the num-
ber of handles and names avail-
able. Handles are the values the
memory manager assigns to iden-
tify a block of memory requested
by an application program. Each
application that uses expanded
memory requires at least one hand-
le. Some need more than one, and
they let you know if they run out of
handles. The parameter must be in
the range of 16 to 255. Note that
each handle/name increases the
amount of expanded memory re-
quired and decreases the amount
available for the application pro-
gram. The default (32) should be
adequate for most purposes.
Example HANDLES=84
4. After you install KEMM.SYS, the system
must be re-booted to load the
KEMM.SYS EMS device driver. Do this
by turning off your computer and then
turning it on again, or do a soft boot by
pressing the {CTRL} {ALT} (DEL} keys
simultaneously.
If your computer system has a total
of 10MB of expanded memory and
the file CONFIG.SYS has DEVICE =
C:\KTCEMS \KEMM.SYS
And when the system booting up,
the following messages will appear:
KEMM: 80386 Expanded Memory Manager V.4.0
