In the configuration window I can select 768kB RAM for a Generic Turbo XT.
Question: What happens to the 128kB above 640kB?
I have a Philips NMS-9100 Turbo XT with 768kB RAM. The extra 128kB is mapped to address range D0000-EFFFF and can be used by HIMEM.SYS for UMB.
Would love to see this in PCem as well and be able to LOADHIGH some TSRs

The extra 128kB should be accessible as conventional/base memory if you're using MDA/CGA/Hercules video. EGA/VGA and later will render it inaccessible.

Ah yes, I understand now, thnx.
It's 64kB extra (not 128kB) which is simply added to the normal memory pool creating a total of 704kB. No (need for) upper memory blocks.
