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 device
==
emm.sys
command
line
to
your
CONFIG.8YS file.
