Appendix 4.' Regarding the AST PCnet
II
If you enable the RAM 3000 Deluxe for EMS mode and
also install the AST PC net II network adapter board, a
software conflict will occur involving the use of the inter-
rupt vector 67
(Hex~
The EMM.SYS expanded memory
device driver uses this interrupt vector; however, some
hardware and software applications (notably the penet II
board) will use this interrupt vector also. To prevent this
conflict from happening, the EMMSYS command line in
your CONFIGSYS file includes a "/e" parameter so several
applications (including the AST PCnet II board) can share
the 67 (Hex) interrupt vector.
To ensure the RAM 3000 Deluxe and the penet II boards
will work together in the same system, you should add the
EMMSYS command line with the "/e" parameter as the last
line in your CONFIGSYS file (see
Section
5.1.1:
Installing
EMM.SYS
on how to install the EMMSYS device driver).
However, if you define any special applications in expanded
memory space that require a driver in the CONFIGSYS file,
be sure the command line for the expanded memory
application device driver comes after the
EMMSYS
command line in your CONFIGSYS file.
