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.
