POWER EXEC MODEM SOFTWARE AND EMM386.EXE
|
|
|
|
|
|
PROBLEM: Communication software used for modems may experience problems
|
|
on the Power Exec if EMM386.EXE is used along with the Card
|
|
Configuration Utility (CCU.EXE) program, part number
|
|
910717-031 release 1.0. This currently occurs with all
|
|
versions of EMM386.
|
|
|
|
CAUSE: Both the EMM386 program and the CCU program load into memory
|
|
at the same D000h memory location. CCU.EXE takes two 16KB
|
|
memory windows; one at DC00h for PCMCIA common memory and one
|
|
at D800h for attribute memory. Also CCU will establish a
|
|
memory window at D000-D400h for network adapters which is
|
|
documented in the Power Exec User's Guide, part number
|
|
001492-001.
|
|
|
|
SYSTEMS
|
|
AFFECTED: All Power Exec systems.
|
|
|
|
SOLUTION: Exclude the D000h-DFFFh memory range in EMM386. This will
|
|
prevent EMM386.EXE from using this memory range and allow the
|
|
CCU program to use the memory range.
|
|
|
|
For example;
|
|
|
|
DEVICE=C:\EMM386.EXE X=D000-DFFF
|
|
|
|
For more information on EMM386 and the exclude switch, please
|
|
consult your MS-DOS manual. Make sure the appropriate files
|
|
are backed up before modifying this statement.
