AST RAMPAGE AT QUICK REFERENCE
|
|
|
|
|
|
To assist in configuring the RAMpage AT (assembly number 202079-
|
|
301A), the following information has been assembled for easy
|
|
access:
|
|
|
|
EXPLANATION OF TERMS
|
|
|
|
"Paged memory" or "expanded memory" - This memory is used by your
|
|
RAMpage! board for specially designed software programs such as
|
|
LOTUS 1-2-3. This memory is not "seen" by your computer, and is
|
|
controlled by your RAMpage! board and its software driver
|
|
"REMM.SYS".
|
|
|
|
When performing the "SET-UP" program, do not include RAMpage!
|
|
"expanded memory" in the "expansion memory" configuration.
|
|
|
|
"Non-paged" or "extended memory" - is the Random Access Memory
|
|
(RAM) that lies between 1MEG and 16MEG in the PC-AT and
|
|
compatibles. Extended memory is not "seen" or used by the DOS
|
|
Operating System because PC-DOS and MS-DOS are only able to
|
|
access a maximum of 640K of RAM. The extended or non-paged
|
|
memory in your computer is only accessable by DOS by way of such
|
|
RAMdisk programs as V-Disk or FastDisk. When setting up your PC-
|
|
AT, the SET-UP program will ask you how much "expansion memory"
|
|
you have in your computer. This "expansion memory" is entended
|
|
memory.
