- My Taiwan-clone EMS card purports to be LIM 4.0 compatible, and it does
- support non-volatile memory blocks, for example. But the driver it came with
- doesn't allow any specification of page frame or addresses to in-/exclude like
- true LIM 4.0 drivers do.
-
- If possible, I would like to take advantage of LIM 4.0's memory mapping
- features to use some software I found which would give me access to DOS UMB's.
-
- My question is, would a different driver allow me to do this, or is
- this a hardware limitation? And if another driver would work, where would I
- find one? Would QRAM, for example, be useful here? Or am I basically out of
- luck with this?
-
- Any and all replies most apppreciated.
