32-bit (PCI) adapter can only function with 32-bit versions of the EMM386.EXE memory manager program (version 4.49 or later). You can verify its version by entering EMM386 at the DOS prompt.

Do not specify the “highscan” option with the EMM386.EXE statement in your CONFIG.SYS file or your system will hang.
