Re: [BUG] SPC-4216P, KMX-C-02. EMS and UMB memory
Many Thanks!! The SPC-2016P machine works correctly with the new EMS driver, it works exactly like the Award 286 and GW 286CT GEAR, and for some reason, now CheckIt now detects the F region correctly. I never thought it could be a driver issue. And for the KMS-C-02 ,Qram is detecting 128kb of free U...

Re: [BUG] SPC-4216P, KMX-C-02. EMS and UMB memory
I tested the SPC-2016P and it lock's up when the EMS driver is loading. Even if no UMB driver is used. I put HIMEM.SYS after EMS.SYS but it still freezes. The KMS-C-02 may lock up with a Windows 2.11 application like Word for Windows but not with applications that use conventional memory only, howev...

Re: [BUG] SPC-4216P, KMX-C-02. EMS and UMB memory
Hello
Thanks for your reply. I'm going to test these machines without CLEAREMS.SYS, and i did not notice EMS driver was loaded twice. I am using MS-DOS 3.31, for that reason I chose to use QRAM instead UMB_DRVR.SYS.

[BUG] SPC-4216P, KMX-C-02. EMS and UMB memory
Hello I tested QRAM in the four SCAT/SCATsx machines. I found some problems with the EMS and upper memory area. I don't know if this issue is a bug, a limitation of these bios or some Pcem limitation. The Award 286 and GW 286CT-GEAR works with both EMS memory and 128kb of UMB memory. The KMX-C-02 wo...

With other machines runs at correct speed on 8088 at 4.77 mhz. CGA composite color mode work correctly too, because it has the same colors than the screenshots on Mobygames site.
