Quarterdeck Technical Note #108

Q: How should I configure QEMM-386 or DESQview 386 to run on my
Toshiba 5100 (or 5200)?
QEMM-386 can be used as an expanded memory manager on the Toshiba
5100 or 5200, but may require some changes in the default
configuration of the Toshiba.
Under the default configuration, the Toshiba 5100 does not have
any extended memory, but actually has expanded memory hardware
and an expanded memory driver. If your Toshiba's memory is
configured as expanded, QEMM-386 will not see any extended memory
to map and refuse to load, or will not work properly.
To set the machine up properly, run the Toshiba Setup utility and
configure 640K of base memory and the rest of the memory as
extended memory. There should be no expanded memory configured.
Once the hardware has been set up so that all of the memory above
640K is extended memory, edit the CONFIG.SYS file on the machine
and remove the expanded memory driver if one is being loaded.
This file will probably be called EMM.SYS or EMM386.SYS, but you
may want to consult your Toshiba manual to be sure.
After the expanded memory driver has been removed, you may run
the QEMM- 386 Install program to install QEMM-386 and it should
be able to operate properly on the machine for DESQview and other
programs that might require EMS 4.0 memory.

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
