SUMMARY
=======

If you are using the Stacker XT/8 Coprocessor with Microsoft Windows running in
386 enhanced mode, you need to add an EMMExclude statement to the [386Enh]
section of the SYSTEM.INI file.

NOTE: This does not apply to the Stacker AT/16 Coprocessor because it does not
use a RAM address.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The range of memory addresses depends on the base address of the Stacker XT/8
card. The base address is found on the Stacker DEVICE statement in the
CONFIG.SYS file and is identified by the /B parameter.

The following table lists the seven possible memory ranges, based on the base
address of the XT/8 Coprocessor card:

  Base Address     <range> to Exclude
  ------------     ------------------

  c400             c400-c7ff
  c800             c800-cbff
  cc00             cc00-cfff
  d000             d000-d3ff
  d400             d400-d7ff
  d800             d800-dbff
  dc00             dc00-dfff

For example, if the Stacker XT/8 Coprocessor base address is d000, using Notepad,
add the parameter listed below to the SYSTEM.INI file under the heading
[386Enh]:

     EMMEXCLUDE=d000-d3ff
