EMM386.EXE--Examples

To start EMM386 as an expanded-memory emulator, using the default values,   add the following lines to your CONFIG.SYS file: device=himem.sys device=emm386.exe Since no location is specified, MS-DOS searches for the EMM386.EXE file in the root directory of your startup drive. To specify that EMM386 allocate a maximum of 4096K of memory and a guaranteed 256K of memory (the default value), and to specify that the EMM386.EXE file is located in the DOS directory on drive C, add the following line to your CONFIG.SYS file: device=c:\dos\emm386.exe 4096 To emulate expanded memory, specify the segment-base address D000h for the EMS page frame, and allocate 512K of memory to EMM386, use one of the following commands: device=emm386.exe 512 frame=d000 device=emm386.exe 512 p0=d000 p1=d400 p2=d800 p3=dc00 Suppose that, in addition to specifying the conditions set in the preceding commands, you want to prevent EMM386 from using the segment addresses E000h through EC00h. To do this and to specify that EMM386 can use 127 handles, add the following line to your CONFIG.SYS file: device=emm386.exe 512 frame=d000 x=e000-ec00 h=127 To provide access to the upper memory area but not provide EMS/VCPI memory, add the following line to your CONFIG.SYS file: device=emm386.exe noems novcpi To provide access to the upper memory area and provide EMS/VCPI memory, add the following line to your CONFIG.SYS file: device=emm386.exe ram
