Epson 286 PLUS Using the VGA Utilities

For example, to specify a page frame address 0CC000h for EMM286.SYS, add the following command line to your CONFIG.SYS file:

DEVICE=EMM286.SYS /M4

Note

If you have installed an EGA or VGA display adapter card, you cannot enter the following values for n:

/ M l - M l / M 2 - M 2

The P[nnn] option specifies the number of handles (process IDS) available to EMM286.SYS. The value for nnn must be in the range of 64 to 256. The default value is 64.

The D option specifies whether you want EMM286.SYS to run diagnostics on your expanded memory page frame each time you load the program. It does not run the diagnostics unless you include the D parameter on the DEVICE= command line.

Using the VGA Utilities

Your built-in VGA (video graphics array) display adapter supports both standard VGA monitors and multi-frequency monitors with analog connectors in non-interlaced mode. The VGA adapter operates in all standard VGA resolutions without requiring any device drivers. However, you may want to install the VGA utilities (which came with your system on the Reference diskette) to use some special features of your VGA adapter.
