SUMMARY
=======

The CMOS setup program on the Zenith Supersport 386sx has an option to configure
extended memory for Expanded Memory Specification (EMS) services or preserve it
as extended memory. EMM386.EXE and HIMEM.SYS will not recognize memory
configured for EMS by the Zenith CMOS setup program. To use EMM386.EXE to
provide EMS services or to use HIMEM.SYS to provide XMS services, some of the
extended memory must be preserved as extended memory. If all the extended memory
is configured as expanded memory, neither HIMEM.SYS nor EMM386.EXE will load.
