Question:
Can I access any memory beyond the base 640K on my machine within DOS?
Response:
If you have expanded memory and you have an EMS (Expanded Memory
Specification) driver that conforms to LIM (Lotus/Intel/Microsoft)
specifications, you can access memory beyond the base 640K available
on your machine. For information about accessing this memory, contact
Intel at (800) 538-3373 or (503) 629-7362.
Intel will send you EMS specifications and documentation discussing
writing code that uses EMS specifications, including a reprint of the
March 1987 Microsoft Systems Journal article, "Expanded Memory:
Writing Programs That Break the 640K Barrier."
