- The best solution I've found was to use the following line for emm386.exe
-
- DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE 1024 FRAME=E000 ram
-
- This gives me 1meg of expanded memory for use in games or whatever needs it
- and uses a 64K page frame at segment E000 (normally not used anyway unless
- you include it with 'i=e000-efff'). Whenever you use "noems" on the emm386
- command line it (appears) to put the CPU into protected mode and the dos
- extender used by demacs complains with "real mode" error.
- hope this helps
