This is a guide on using ems in dos.
With modern computers packed with packed with bios devices in rom.
It's getting harder to find space for the EMS Page frame.
I have been doing some research on the web and this is what I have come
up with so far.
It's is possible to adjust you ems manager to get ems to work a lot of the
time.
If your dos application uses LIM EMS version 4.0 then you could reduce the
ems page frame size to 16 K instead of 64k.
Meaning emm386 might be able to find a page frame in upper memory.

I have been checking out command line switches for emm386.exe
and jemm.
If worst comes to worst; it looks like it might be possible to manually tell
these emm386 or jemm to set the ems page frame to conventional memory.

On the WPDOS page they mention disabling devices in bios setup.

Such as disable USB Legacy Support, ethernet ect.
And if worst comes to worst I guess you could always use "ems magic".
It purposed to use quite a bit of memory to use thro.
