- I've found the following line works well for me. The "frame=e000" line uses
- the 64K at E000:0 for the frame buffer. This memory is normally not used by
- emm386. Without "frame=e000", emm386 uses 64K of memory that would be used
- to load tsr's high.

- DEVICE=c:\windows\emm386.exe 1024 frame=e000 ram
