If you are going to install the EMM386.EXE driver, please use the [X] option to prevent EMM386.EXE from using the particular range of segment address as an EMS page which is used by AR-B7041. For example, write a statement in the CONFIG.SYS file as follow: (If the memory configuration of AR-B7041 is CC00:0)

DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE X=CC00-CFFF

3.2.4 SSD Drive Number (SW1-5, SW1-6 & SW1-7)

The AR-B7041 can simulate one or two disk drives. You can assign the drive number of AR-B7041 by configure SW1-5, SW1-6 & SW1-7.

If you have copied DOS to the ROM/RAM disk, the computer will always boot from the ROM/RAM disk. After the DOS is booted, the first disk number will be A: until the program SWAP41.EXE is executed. The SWAP41.EXE changes the drive number according to the setting of SW1-5, SW1-6 & SW1-7.

If your AR-B7041 does not have DOS and is not assigned as drive A, the computer will boot from your hard disk or floppy disk. In this case, the BIOS of AR-B7041 will set the drive number of ROM/RAM disk to desired drive number automatically without having to run SWAP41.EXE after system booting. Do not assign the AR-B7041 with drive 0 (drive A: ) when the ROM/RAM disk does not have DOS. This is just like that you put a non-DOS disk in the floppy disk.

If you install only one kind of memory chip on the ROM/RAM disk, the AR-B7041 will simulate one disk drive.
