About the README files
----------------------
This file (README) contains helpful examples for installing V-EMM
in a variety of common configurations. A separate file (README.206)
contains information too recent to be included in your V-EMM user
manual.
To help you get V-EMM configured more quickly, please answer the
the following questions concerning your system configuration.
Question 1: Do you have an EMS or EEMS board?
Question 2: Do you have IBM's PS/2 80286 memory expansion board?
Question 3: Do you have extended memory (on many 80286/80386-based PCs)?
Question 4: Do you have a hard disk?
Now find the answers to the questions in the table below. Then look
at the appropriate example to see how you can setup V-EMM on your system
We suggest you use the appropriate example in conjunction with "Chapter
3. How to Use V-EMM" and "Chapter 4. Command Reference", which are
more complete.
In most cases, you need to add 1 or 2 lines to your CONFIG.SYS file,
and you need to add 1 or 2 lines to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

============================= Example A ==============================
Question 1: Do you have an EMS or EEMS board? YES
Question 4: Do you have a hard disk? YES
sample setup (type this command when you initially install V-EMM):
VEMMCONF C: /128 (Tells V-EMM to allocate a 128 page (2 megabyte)
paging-file on drive C:)
sample CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE=EMM.SYS (Device driver supplied by your EMS board
manufacturer.)
DEVICE=VEMM.SYS D=128 (Tells V-EMM that a 128 page (2 megabyte)
paging-file is present on a hard disk.)
sample AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
VEMMCONF C: /E (Tells V-EMM to begin using the paging-file
on drive C:)
VEMMTSR1 (Needed for many pop-ups and some print spoolers
to work correctly.)
You compute your virtual expanded memory capacity as follows:
(We have assumed your EMS board contains 1.5 megabytes of memory)
Real expanded memory 96 pages (for a 1.5 megabyte board)
Auxiliary expanded memory + 128 pages
----
Total 224 pages
Reserved auxiliary pages - 1 page
---
Virtual expanded memory 223 pages
============================= end of Example ==========================
============================= Example B ==============================
Question 1: Do you have an EMS or EEMS board? YES
Question 4: Do you have a hard disk? NO
sample CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE=EMM.SYS (Device driver supplied by your EMS board
manufacturer.)
DEVICE=VEMM.SYS (Tells V-EMM that no paging-file is present
on the hard disk.)
sample AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
(no changes required)
You compute your virtual expanded memory capacity as follows:
(We have assumed your EMS board contains 1.5 megabytes of memory)
Real expanded memory 96 pages (for a 1.5 megabyte board)
Auxiliary expanded memory + 0 pages
---
Total 96 pages
Reserved auxiliary pages - 0 pages
---
Virtual expanded memory 96 pages
Note that this configuration has limited utility. You might use this
configuration to turn an EMS 3.2 board into an EMS 4.0 board. Or you
might use this configuration in conjunction with our Non-Volatile RAM-
Disk product.
============================= end of Example ==========================
============================= Example C ==============================
Question 1: Do you have an EMS or EEMS board? NO
Question 2: Do you have IBM's PS/2 80286 memory expansion board? NO
Question 3: Do you have extended memory (on many 80286/80386-based PCs)? YES
Question 4: Do you have a hard disk? YES
sample setup (type this command when you initially install V-EMM):
VEMMCONF C: /48 (Tells V-EMM to allocate a 48 page (768 kilobyte)
paging-file on drive C:)
sample CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE=VEMMSIME.SYS (Tells V-EMM to use all available extended
memory to simulate expanded memory.)
DEVICE=VEMM.SYS D=48 (Tells V-EMM that a 48 page (768 kilobyte)
paging-file is present on a hard disk.)
sample AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
VEMMCONF C: /E (Tells V-EMM to begin using the paging-file
on drive C:)
VEMMTSR1 (Needed for many pop-ups and some print spoolers
to work correctly.)
You compute your virtual expanded memory capacity as follows:
(We have assumed your extended memory board contains 384 kilobytes of memory)
Simulated expanded memory 24 pages (for a 384 kilobyte board)
Auxiliary expanded memory + 48 pages
----
Total 72 pages
Reserved auxiliary pages - 1 page
----
Virtual expanded memory 71 pages
============================= end of Example ==========================

Question 1: Do you have an EMS or EEMS board? NO
Question 2: Do you have IBM's PS/2 80286 memory expansion board? NO
Question 3: Do you have extended memory (on many 80286/80386-based PCs)? YES
sample CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE=VEMMSIME.SYS (Tells V-EMM to use all available extended
memory to simulate expanded memory.)
DEVICE=VEMM.SYS (Tells V-EMM that no paging-file is present
on the hard disk.)
