NOTE ABOUT "Original" EMS CARDS (& "Hangs" using them, with the Buss Correction Kit):
THE BUSS CORRECTION KIT "BORKING" THE SIGINAL IT EXPECTS!
Work-around: Use a "normal" EMS Board, I suggest "PicoMEM 8-Bit ISA Card - 1MB RAM + 4MB EMS RAM+ USB Support + NE2000 Network + Wifi", its "modern" and faster than any era EMS card (even faster than the AT&T-specific, AST-made, EEMS 3.2 board "running as it expects" on the "wacky" buss). If your already have 640kb+ conventional memory, it becomes a 5MB EMS Card!
See quote:
"EMS boards are slow in the 6300 unless you get the AT&T-specific, AST-made, EEMS 3.2 board, which uses the proprietary 16-bit wacky interface unique to the AT&T, and then the EMS memory is the same speed as the main memory"
... 16 bit wacky interface ... this refers to the "non-standard" (pre-standards) buss I am 99.9% sure
