- AST RAMPAGE AT QUICK REFERENCE
-
-
- To assist in configuring the RAMpage AT (assembly number 202079-
- 301A), the following information has been assembled for easy
- access:
-
- EXPLANATION OF TERMS
-
- "Paged memory" or "expanded memory" - This memory is used by your
- RAMpage! board for specially designed software programs such as
- LOTUS 1-2-3. This memory is not "seen" by your computer, and is
- controlled by your RAMpage! board and its software driver
- "REMM.SYS".
-
- When performing the "SET-UP" program, do not include RAMpage!
- "expanded memory" in the "expansion memory" configuration.
-
- "Non-paged" or "extended memory" - is the Random Access Memory
- (RAM) that lies between 1MEG and 16MEG in the PC-AT and
- compatibles. Extended memory is not "seen" or used by the DOS
- Operating System because PC-DOS and MS-DOS are only able to
- access a maximum of 640K of RAM. The extended or non-paged
- memory in your computer is only accessable by DOS by way of such
- RAMdisk programs as V-Disk or FastDisk. When setting up your PC-
- AT, the SET-UP program will ask you how much "expansion memory"
- you have in your computer. This "expansion memory" is entended
- memory.
