I use Above Disc in my system at home to convert my 384kb EXTENDED MEMORY to
384kb Expanded memory.  I don't use my 40MB hard drive for EMS.  But I can say
that Above disc CAN BE setup to do this.  I've even tested out changing 6MB of
extended memory to expanded memory on my Z-248 at my office and it worked with
Lotus 1-2-3 and Quattro.  Both programs recognized that I had 6MB of EMS.  You
can even tell Above Disc to remove the EMS so you can use the Extended Memory
as a disk drive.

Their address is Tele-Were West, 18023 Skypart Circle #E2, Irvine, VA 92714.
Above Disc was for $69.95 but the price may have changed.
