I would like to add EMS memory to a 286 system which does not have native support for emulating EMS (Citygate chipset).
I found a simulator from 1993 (Jjex) but it cannot load itself high or UMA and is pretty slooooow.
I am trying to get hold of EMS Magic version 2.0, with no luck so far. /This this might be a little faster than earlier programs - if only I could dig it out somewhere...
I could also buy an EMS card, but I never used one before - I am not sure what would work on a 20 or 25 mhz 286 system. The goal is running games, so EMS 3.2 support might be just enough (4.0 would be nicer, though - but that is unlikely from a 1989 card, isnt it? )
If the software way is a dead end, what are the options? Go for an Intel Above Board plus... or what ?
