*** REMM.SYS INFORMATION ***
EPG Products (Memory Boards):
-----------------------------
This is a breakdown of AST (EPG) Memory Products which require certain
versions of the REMM.SYS Expanded Memory Manager. This is not to be confused
with AST Premium Computer System's REMM.SYS drivers. This breakdown does not
apply to AST Computer Systems.
Product's Name REMM ASTEMM
----------------------------------
Advantage/2-386 N/A 2.27
Advantage Premium 4.30 N/A
RAMpage/286 4.30 N/A
RAMpage/2 4.30 N/A
RAMpage/2-286 4.30 N/A
SixPakPremium 4.30 N/A
If you are using an application program which requires an older version of
REMM.SYS (your software should state this in it's documentation), then you
should use an older version - rather than the most recent version.
SPECIAL NOTE: You can determine which products REMM.SYS is compatible with
by its version number. For REMM.SYS versions 4.0 and later, an
ODD version is for AST EPG Memory Boards (i.e RAMpage, Advantage
Premium, etc.). An EVEN version is for AST Premium Computer
Systems (i.e. the Premium/286, etc.).
REMM.SYS v4.3 is for AST Memory Boards
REMM.SYS v4.2 is for AST Computer Systems
This REMM.SYS identification strategy does not apply to REMM.SYS
versions prior to 4.0.
If any of these products are installed in an AST Premium computer system, then
you should use the REMM.SYS that was intended for use in that particular
computer.
SYSTEMS (AST Premium Computers):
--------------------------------
The following are versions of REMM.SYS that have been released specifically
for AST Premium Computer Systems. They are not intended for use with any AST
Memory Board (except when the Memory Board is installed in an AST Premium
Computer System). Released REMM's for the Premium/286 are:
REMM.SYS v4.20 (EMS 4.0 Specification)
REMM.SYS v4.00 (See Notes Below)
REMM.SYS v3.50 (EMS 3.2 Specification)
REMM.SYS v3.00
NOTES: If you are currently using REMM.SYS version 4.00, than you should
consider updating your system to the latest version (specifically,
version 4.20). This way, you can be assured that you are using the
most up-to-date version that AST has available (REMM.SYS version 4.20
is fully LIM-EMS 4.0 compatible).
AST Premium Workstations use the same REMM.SYS versions that the Premium/286
does. However, it is designed around LIM EMS v4.0, and thus will not work
with any versions of REMM.SYS prior to v4.0. So, if you have an AST Premium
Workstation, you should be using the most current version of REMM.SYS that is
compatible with LIM-EMS v4.0 (i.e. REMM.SYS v4.20).
AST Premium/386 computer systems do not use a REMM.SYS device driver. But
rather, it uses a driver called ASTEMM.SYS that converts 80386 Extended memory
(linear) into Emulated EMS 4.0 Expanded memory. Thus, REMM.SYS should not be
an issue on a Premium/386 computer system.
AST FASTboard/386 accelorator boards for the Premium/286 must be used with
REMM.SYS version 4.27. This board can not use the general Systems or EPG REMM
drivers, do to the special nature of the board.
