- Subject: Re: WHAT DO I NEED?
-
- On the '386, you don't need to play games with backfilling memory, EMS, and
- such - you just get a memory management program like QEMM that takes
- advantage of the memory management capabilities of the '386, and go on from
- there.
- On the 286, though, you'll find that you need to (1) come up with a better
- memory manager, AKA the All Charge Card, or (2) get your motherboard to run
- with as LITTLE main board memory as posssible - preferably 0K, though 256K is
- tolerable - and use a EEMS or Hardware LIM 4.0 memory card to backfill the
- rest of your Base memory.
-
- In your case, I wouldn't even bother with the '286 machine and DesqView - I'd
- make it a single purpose BBS machine or workstation, and DesqView the '386
- witl all of the memory I can stuff in THAT machine.

- Subject: QEMM and Netbios
-
- John,
- you helped another user by supplying a qemm.sys device= card for stopping
- qemm overwriting the shadow netbios rams. I have deleted the message and it
- is no longer on the board and I wondered if I could trouble you to tell me
- how to stop qemm taking all the 640-1Mb ram or at least the bit needed by
- easy-net, which is supposed to be netbios compatible. When I issue the
- netstart command the machine just locks solid with qemm loaded but is fine
- without.
- Cheers, Phil.

- Subject: ATI VGA wonder in Herc mode using Bus Mouse with DV
-
- The above has been quite a trial to me. Extensive testing yeilds the following:
-
- DV 2.22 won't tolerate the bus mouse. DV 2.25 WILL, but only if it is told
- about it in setup. If you try to use a mouse-using program in a window when
- DV is told there is no mouse, and if the program does not maintain its own
- cursor (like Norton Editor) but lets the mouse driver do so, "mouse
- droppings" will be left on all windows, foreground AND background, regardless
- of Virtualized windows (I use QEMM 4.22 on a 386).
-
- DESPITE all of the above, I have two programs that lock up when attempting to
- use the mouse: Broderbund's Print Shop and Tandy's DeskMate. DeskMate does
- fine if you tell it there IS no mouse. I *think* this is a problem with the
- ATI mouse driver. My ATI bios date is ATI VGA Wonder, BIOS V3M-1.04A. The
- software is ATI Technologies Inc., Copyright (1988-89), Mouse driver Version
- 1.04, if anyone happens to know of a fix.
-
- I wanted to save someone else all of the troubles I've been through.

-
- I run a amateur radio bbs here the WA7MBL bbs that is written in pascal that
- uses btreive and the only problem I have found is that if you are running
- qemm as I run a 386 then you cannot allow btreive to use ems ram otherwise
- you get an error from qemm.
-
- I have tried to look for solutions for this but there seems none that anybody
- can tell me.
