Configuring Memory
D.1 Introduction
This appendix describes the various areas of RAM within the TM5000 Series
Notebook Computers and how you can make the Notebooks more efficient
by configuring them with the memory management device drivers supplied
with your computer.
D.2 Memory Areas
MS-DOS directly accesses up to 640 KB of RAM for the execution of programs
and commands and for storing temporary data.
MS-DOS cannot directly
access memory beyond this 640-KB limit. The amount of standard default
RAM (640 KB) in the computer is displayed on the Setup Program menu as
Standard (Memory), and it can be changed in 64-KB increments if required
by your application.
The memory map in Figure D-1 shows the available memory and how it is
used by MS-DOS .
