To maximize memory

Certain situations require a large segment of conventional memory. In Windows 3.1
and Windows for Workgroups 3.11, conventional memory is freed by optimizing
upper memory and loading specified device drivers high. The following will provide
100K of upper memory.
1. Edit the EMM386 line in CONFIG.SYS as follows:
device=c:\dos\emm386.exe noems x=d000-d1ff
The default EMM386 line allots PC cards 8K of upper memory.
2. If you are using a PC card that requires more upper memory change the
EMM386 to read as follows:
device=c:\dos\emm386.exe x=d000-d7ff
The C:\CARDWIZ\CSALLOC.INI file needs to be edited to reflect the line
change. The CONFIG.SYS and the CSALLOC.INI files have pre-configured lines
for either 8K or 32K of PC card support. Simply remove the # in the
C:\CARDWIZ\CSALLOC.INI file and remove the REM in CONFIG.SYS according
to the instructions contained in each file.
