Stealth technology is dependent upon ROM design. ROM
implementations by hardware manufacturers may cause one or
more of Stealth's strategies not to work.
- Battery-Powered Laptop Support (Suspend-Resume)
- Additional Shadow RAM Support. QEMM 6.0 now supports Chips
& Technologies SCAT Shadow RAM, in addition to its previous
support for Compaq-style Top Memory and C&T's NEAT, LEAP and
AT/386 Shadow RAM.

- New NETBIOS and Novell IPX/SPX drivers, to be used when
running several network-specific programs via network
gateways or when running client/server network application
programs.

QRAM
G. Optimize (included with DV 386, QEMM, QRAM)
- More powerful, easier to use.
- Now has the ability to process embedded batch files in a
user's AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
- "Squeeze," a new capability to temporarily increase the high
RAM region in high memory during a program's load and
initialization. This feature is helpful for programs that
require more memory while they are initializing than they do
once they are resident.
- Optimize can now automatically exclude portions of high
memory accessed by device drivers and TSR's. This avoids
conflicts with hardware that previous versions failed to
detect.
- Users can now create "response files" that QEMM-386's LOADHI
programs can use to get information about where and how to
load programs high. This is valuable for network users who
load TSRs from public batch files on the network.
- Optimize now lets users view, browse and play with the list
of device drivers and TSRs that the program has relocated to
high-memory--allowing users to perform "What-if?" analyses
with their memory configuration.
