You do have the Intel Above Board EMS memory disabled, don't you? Set it to
Extended memory. Otherwise you have *2* EMS drivers in your computer. Let the
ACC use the ram chips on the Above Board. Or you can take the Above Board and
use it as a door stop. :) Seriously, the ACC works fine with almost all
boards that can be set to Extended ram. The ACC will convert it to pure
Hardware based EMS 4.0. Then you get 560k windows.

Ok, here is my Config.sys setup. Checkout the parameters that give me 560k:
BUFFERS=3
DEVICE=C:\QEXT.SYS
DEVICE=C:\ALLMOS\ALLEMM4.SYS I=C800-DFFF I=F000-F7FF RAM=B000-B7FF
RAM=C800-CFFF ME=2000

Let us know if this helps.

I had just the same problem and I spent a lot of time to solve that problem.
After, I do not know, how many tests and questions, I came to the conclusion
that this is not real a bug of DV but QEMM. Qemm influences INT 13 and in
combination with a Award Bios you got the well known result: The machine
locks up when you try to access the floppies.
I tried to load qext.sys before qemm and this helped with the Versions
up to DV 2.22. But when I got 2.25 I had the same troubles again.
At last I found the solution which works for me: I load QEMM with the
commandline option IGNOREA20 (IA is the shortcut) and it works good for me.
DEVICE=C:\386\QEMM.SYS ON MA=4 HA=16 RAM ROM IA NS
This is my line for qemm. Hope I could help your friend...

Keith, Thanks for your input. However, a 286/ACC can't run QEMM.
I'm running QEXT which is just for loading DV. The expanded mem
manager for the ACC is ALLEMM4 which is all-computers own driver.
regards Chris.
