SYMPTOMS
========
An expanded memory page frame set to DC00 or higher on a AT&T 6386E causes
the system to stop responding (hang). For example, the following DEVICE=
statement hangs the system.
DEVICE=EMM386.EXE m8 RAM
CAUSE
=====
The AT&T 6386E has a ROM option at address E800 that is used during system
operations. Setting a page frame to DC00 or higher overlaps with the ROM option,
resulting in a hang.
MORE INFORMATION
================
On some systems, you can set a page frame to DC00 or higher. For example,
machines with AMI BIOS use the entire E000:EFFF area for the ROM setup program.
To set a page frame at E000, make sure that the ROM option is never needed
during normal system operation.
