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.
