As a first guess, try reducing the EMS Memory Size.. I doubt that all 2.0Meg
is available for EMS use.. as for the rest, Simtel20/wuarchive/et al..
have a file describing the NEAT chipset in great detail:

Directory PD1:<MSDOS.INFO>
NEATCHIP.ZIP  B   12260  900402  Describes Chips and Technologies' NEAT chipset

On wuarchive.wustl.edu, this would be: mirrors/msdos/info/neatchip.zip
