- Many thanx. I have the manual (actually I have 2 of 'em) but for some stupid
- reason I didn't even think to rtfm.

- Will add the extension.

- Now my only problem is how to tell QEMM that a pc has >16mb of memory. I've
- looked in the CMOS, but see CF00 tucked in the EXT MEM area. My PC's setup
- program can detect the full 32mb, so I assume that this is non-standard and
- so QEMM must not be looking in the extended CMOS area to find out if there's
- any more memory.
- I've tried booting without QEMM, but DOS's MEM command only shows 16mb. I've
- tried HIMEM and the EISA option, but it still only sees 16mb.
-
- Oh well.
