Memory Device Drivers

EMM.SYS

The EMS memory manager provided with your TravelMate 3000, the EMM.SYS device
driver, conforms to version 4.00 of the Lotus/Intel/Microsoft Expanded Memory
Specification (EMS). EMM.SYS enables areas of system memory to be used as Expanded
memory.

Note: You cannot use EMM.SYS with Windows 3.0 in 386 standard or enhanced mode.
Delete the EMM.SYS line from your CONFIG.SYS file when using Windows 3. 0.
However, EMM.SYS works with Windows 3.0 and HIMEM.SYS when using REAL
MODE and a combination of extended and expanded memory. If you need to retain
EMM.SYS, add the parameter /M: I to the HIMEM.SYS command line in your
CONFIG.SYS file.

The EMM.SYS device driver must be installed before you can use Expanded memory. To
install EMM.SYS in its simplest form, include the following command line in your
CONFIG.SYS file before any other DEVICE commands that use Expanded memory (for
example, RAMDRIVE.SYS) so that the any other device drivers can use the memory
manager:

DEVICE=C:\UTILS\EMM.SYS

Parameters (also called switches or options) for the EMM.SYS driver are described under
'EMM.SYS Parameters" later in this appendix. After it loads, the memory manager
determines the amount of Expanded memory in the system and performs any required
initialization.

You must allocate at the Setup Program Memory category the amount of memory you
want used for Expanded memory, plus the amount you want for Standard, Extended, and
Shadow ROM. EMM.SYS can use only the memory allocated as Expanded on the Setup
Program.
