  It's not QEMM that can't find it.  On a lot of computers, the extra 384K
ram is used to shadow the ROM (hence the name 'shadow ram').  It is not
accessable.  On some computers, you can set the extra 384K as extended
memory in which QEMM will have no trouble finding it.  And if your computer
has the Chips and Technologies chipset, QEMM can access most of the 384K
even if it is not normally accessable.
