It has to be manually disabled on my computer; on my device=qemm.sys line, I
have the parameter I=E000-F7FF (include).  E000-EFFF is the on-board EGA
bios...not really something I need.  If you have QEMM 5.0, the Analyze
function will tell you what parts of ROM can be manually included -- but you
have to run just about every program you own to make sure you don't mess
anything up -- there is one 4K block which, as far as I can tell, is only
used by Norton Disk Doctor (if I include it, NDD locks immediately)...
