Emm.sys Ems Device Driver; Installing Emm.sys - Everex EV-159 Owner's Manual And Reference Manual

5.1 EMM.8YS EMS Device Driver
Expanded memory did not exist when your PC and its
operating system (DOS) were invented. Because of this,
DOS by itself cannot recognize and use any expanded
memory space defined on your memory expansion board.
In order to use expanded memory space, you need a special
device driver program that must be run each time you boot
up the system. You also need special software that can use
expanded memory space.
On the Everex software diskette that accompanies your
board, there is a file called EMM.8YS that allows you to
access expanded memory space. Regardless of how many
memory boards you have installed that are capable of de-
fining expanded memory space (up to a maximum of eight
megabytes of expanded memory space defined over all your
expansion boards), you only need one EMM.8YS program to
control all the expanded memory space.
Before you install EMM.8YS, copy the file EMM.8YS to the
root directory of your system disk. The following subsec-
tions show you how to install EMM.8YS.
5.1.1 Installing EMM.syS
Most systems have a CONFIG.8YS file of "chores" for the
computer to load special software device drivers each time
the system is booted up. You need to add a
