AST RESEARCH, INC. TECHNICAL BULLETIN TB-0310 9-25-87
PREMIUM/286 WITH DESQVIEW 2.0
Quarterdeck's DESQview 2.0 manual states that the motherboard memory
of the personal computer should be set to the lowest possible
amount. Then memory from an EEMS-type board should be used to fill-
in the memory up to 640K.
Because the FASTRAM card's memory can all be accessed as EEMS
memory, AST recommends configuring the FASTRAM card as follows to
get optimum performance from DESQview 2.0:
