Summary: In the readme.txt file... Message-ID: <1990Jun3.194446.2045@portia.Stanford.EDU> Date: 3 Jun 90 19:44:46 GMT Organization: AIR, Stanford Universit Lines: 46 X-Local-Date: 3 Jun 90 12:44:46 PDT From the above file: "When you boot your computer, HIMEM is loaded from your CONFIG.SYS file. After it is loaded, you will see a message like the following telling you the method HIMEM will use to access extended memory on your computer. Installed A20 handler number X. where X is 1 through 8 which corresponds to one of the following methods: Number Name Computer type -------------------------------------------------------------- 1 at ; IBM AT or 100% compatible. 2 ps2 ; IBM PS/2 3 ptlcascade ; Phoenix Cascade BIOS 4 hpvectra ; HP Vectra (A & A+) 5 att6300plus ; AT&T 6300 Plus 6 acer1100 ; Acer 1100 7 toshiba ; Toshiba 1600 & 1200XE 8 wyse ; Wyse 12.5 Mhz 286 If HIMEM does not work properly, you can try a different method. Specify the switch for your computer type on the device=HIMEM.SYS line in your CONFIG.SYS file. Computer type corresponds to either the number or the name of your computer from the table. For example the following lines are equivalent: device=c:\himem.sys /M:ps2 device=c:\himem.sys /M:2 This entry forces HIMEM to use the IBM PS/2 A20 method for accessing extended memory." So you might want to change this switch... matt. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The views expressed are those of my keyboard | Matt Watson and do not necessarily reflect my own | homerun@portia.stanford.edu
