I think its time to say a few good words about Everex Systems and several
of their products.
I have a 12 MHz 286 machine that contains an Everex Evercom 24 2400 bps modem
and a RAM-10000 (a.k.a. EV-158A) 10 MB memory expansion board that has 4 MB
of RAM on it.  Right now, the memory is divided as 1 MB extended memory
being used as a RAM disk, and 3 MB of expanded (EMS) memory.

Both work quite well, and have not given me any problems.
The memory board has LIM 4.0 software support, although I'm not sure about
true LIM 4.0 support in hardware (if you need this feature, check with Everex
- my main EMS application, 1-2-3 Release 2.2, doesn't care and works very well).

I am also using Everex's RAM disk driver instead of DOS 3.3's VDISK, and am
quite pleased with it.

This machine has an Award BIOS and is running IBM PC DOS 3.3 (if that is
of interest).  It also has 1 MB of memory on the system board, which is used
as the 640 kB DOS memory and another 384 kB of extended memory (so I have a
1.3 MB RAM disk).

Given my experience, I'd certainly buy other Everex products.

Bill Mitchell
