You seem to be confusing EXTENDED and EXPANDED memory. You must setup the memory
you want Windows to use as EXPANDED memory. Then your EMS40 driver will
recognize it, and so will Windows. Most memory boards have a dip switch that
toggles between expanded and extended memory. You can even have a mix of them if
you want. (Use the extended memory for HIMEM.SYS to give Windows a bit more
conventional memory).
