- ID:TS Running on the Toshiba 5100
- Quarterdeck Technical Note

- Q: How should I configure QEMM-386 or DESQview 386 to run on my
- Toshiba 5100 (or 5200)?
-
-
- QEMM-386 can be used as an expanded memory manager on the Toshiba
- 5100, but normally requires some changes in the default
- configuration of the Toshiba.
-
- Under the default configuration, the Toshiba 5100 does not have
- any extended memory, but actually has expanded memory hardware
- and an expanded memory driver. Under the default Toshiba setup,
- QEMM will either not see any extended memory to map and refuse to
- load, or will not work properly.
-
- To set the machine up properly, you need to run the Toshiba Setup
- utility and configure 640K of base memory and all of the rest of
- the memory as extended memory. There should be no expanded
- memory configured.
-
- Once the hardware has been set up to see all of the memory above
- 640K as extended memory, you should edit the CONFIG.SYS file on
- the machine and remove the expanded memory driver if one is being
- loaded. We believe this file is called EMM.SYS, but you may want
- to consult your Toshiba manual to be sure.
-
- After the expanded memory driver has been removed, you may run
- the QEMMINST program to install QEMM and QEMM should be able to
- operate properly on the machine for DESQview and other programs
- that might require EMS 4.0 memory.
