ID:EC EMS Boards: A comparison of features
Quarterdeck Technical Bulletin # 235
by Gary King
last revision: 2 March 1992
The following charts were created by Quarterdeck's Manifest program. Use
these charts to form a comparison between the various 16 bit Expanded Memory
Boards. These boards were tested in a true 8 mHz IBM AT with a VGA card and
256k of base motherboard memory. We decided to test only memory boards with
the ability to map a substantial amount of memory below 640k. We did this
because a board's ability to backfill memory and the motherboard's ability to
disable base or conventional memory are the two features which enable DESQview
to multitask using expanded memory.
Here's a brief synopsis of the Manifest printouts:
System/Config:
An EMS manager is provided with all EMS boards. The EMS manager is a program
that manages the expanded memory. Only when the memory is managed is it ready
to be used by QRAM or DESQview. There may be additional parameters needed to
fine tune the memory board's operation. We sometimes add parameters to the
memory manager's line of the CONFIG.SYS, which will give some indication of
how much effort is needed to configure your EMS Board. Consult the manual
that came with the board or call the manufacturer to get information about
additional parameters that can fine tune the EMS board. Fine tuning your
memory manager can sometimes be beneficial to its operation, particularly when
using QRAM or DESQview. The extra effort can reduce the memory overhead of
the EMS board. The presence of QEXT.SYS, in this case, denotes the ability of
the board to create some extended memory. QEXT.SYS will use this extended
memory to create a high memory area or what is more commonly called the HMA -
a very important feature for DESQview, DOS 5 and for other programs as well.
Expanded/Overview:
This gives you an idea of how capable the EMS board is. The version of EMS is
important. It's one of the determining factors in how good your system's
performance will be using DESQview or QRAM. The Expanded Memory Specification
makes it possible for QRAM and DESQview to enhance your computer's
performance. If the memory manager and board don't support this specification
fully, QRAM and DESQview's capabilities will be limited. The PAGE FRAME
indicates where the door to expanded memory starts. MAPPABLE PAGES shows how
many memory addresses can be filled with expanded memory. QRAM uses this
space above 640k to load device drivers and TSRs high. DESQview will also
load itself into the memory above 640k when available. The amount below 640k
determines how large the 2nd and 3rd or additional windows can be for a
program running in DESQview. EMS HANDLES are created for programs requesting
expanded memory. Each EMS request requires a handle. These handles may also
be given a name to show what process is using EMS. REAL ALTERNATE MAPS are an
advanced feature of EMS. They allow maps to be changed much faster. The idea
is that the EMS manager can switch from one map to another in one operation,
rather than one operation per mappable page. This significantly helps manage
high speed communications and improves performance in multitasking
environments.
Expanded/Timings:
These figures determine the access speed of your expanded memory relative to a
PC/XT. This screen also shows speeds of different areas of EMS memory. Speeds
will differ between boards. 16 bit access, the speed of the processor, the
wait states built in the motherboard, the BUS speed are determining factors.
Expanded/Pages:
This is a graphical look at the boards EMS mapping ability. A + indicates the
space has been made mappable by the memory manager. It's broken down in 64k
segments for each line, (for example, 4000-4FFF hex), and each character is
16k or (for example, 4000-43FF hex). The area shown here reflects the memory
space from 0k to 1024k or 0000-FFFF hex. As mentioned above, we only tested
boards that have the capability to backfill conventional memory and since the
EMS boards we tested have the ability to backfill, they make EMS memory
available below 640k. Since DOS applications can only run in the first 640k,
DESQview can use the backfilled EMS memory to make DOS programs think they're
running in conventional memory, when actually, the DOS applications are being
run in expanded memory. The PAGE FRAME is indicated by a series of four Fs
and is required by most programs to use this memory. In these charts it's 64k
in D000-DFFF hex. It needs to be placed in an otherwise unused portion of the
address space. Usually it's placed somewhere between C000-EFFF; however this
depends on the hardware configuration and the manufacturer. The IBM AT, along
with most other clones, will not allow the E000-EFFF to be used.
Expanded/Benchmarks:
The timings here indicate the performance in the handling of the expanded
memory calls. All rows of figures except the first row represent the time
required to complete various EMS functions. The first row (Timer Interrupt
Latency) indicates the amount of time that interrupts are locked during the
different EMS functions. This is a good indication of the board's
performance. In comparing boards, lower numbers are desirable for this field,
since lower numbers indicate a board's ability to perform functions in a
smaller or lower time frame.
Dos/Drivers:
The size of the driver indicated by EMMXXXX0 shows the amount of conventional
memory used by the memory manager. Fine tuning the memory manager, as
mentioned above, may alter the amount it uses.
Summary:
Each board is different in the way it implements EMS. Some will backfill as
much conventional memory as the machine can disable; as little as 64k or as
much as 640k. Some can't backfill at all. Others will only create a PAGE
FRAME or map a small amount around it, if any at all. EMS 4.0 has many
features, and it's up to the board manufacturer to determine which features
will be supported. On a XT or AT computer, QRAM and DESQview are fully
dependent on the degree of EMS support provided or the chip set used by
manufacturer. If the EMS manager doesn't support a particular feature, then
QRAM and DESQview will be unable utilize that feature.
