I have a problem installing an Intel AboveBoard PS/286 that I
inherited in a Z-248.  The board went in easily enough and the setup
routine for the board and for the computer seem to be working.  I
told both of them that I wanted to increase my 512K of
conventional memory to 640K and it works, but the EMM driver won't
install.  It tells me that the command line in CONFIG.SYS is
wrong.  It looks like this:

driver=emm.sys m5 i0

No combination of m or i parameters seems to work.  i0 should
work because SETBOARD set up the board to use base i/o at
location 208.  I've tried every m number with i0 and i1.  I'm
using the Version 4.0, Rev A EMS driver off an original diskette.
While the manual doesn't mention an exact version, the diskette
appears to be an upgrade.  Is it possible the command line syntax
changed and I didn't get a manual update??  This seems like it
should be the simplest part of the procedure but it's got me
stuck!

Incidentally, all the original and new I/O in the computer seem
to be working,too. Two serial and two parallel channels.
