- I am looking for a memory manager for a at286 type computer which will do
- the following;
- 1. load device drivers and tsr into high memory (between 640k and 1024k.
- 2. be able to emmulate both extended and expanded memory.
-
- Of course ideal if I had a 386 I would use emm386.exe which comes with dos 5.
- So I am looking for something equivelant to emm386.exe except to be able to
- use in a 286. Dos does not seem to support a memory manager for a 286. I
- heard that dos 4.0 had a memory manager for a 286 called, something like ,
- xma286.sys (not sure of the exact spelling). Is there anything equivalent
- for a 286. I prefer freeware/shareware. I have both a modem and access to
- telnet. Please respond via e-mail. If anyone has any ideas I would greatly
- appreaciate it.
