About this title

Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. CEMM, for Compaq Expanded Memory Manager was the first so-called PC "memory manager" for Intel 80386 CPUs, able to transform extended memory into "EMS" expanded memory by using the virtual memory features and the virtual 8086 mode of the CPU. It was present in Compaq DOS 3.31, in 1987. In 1986, Compaq was the first vendor to ship a PC compatible computer with a 386 CPU, the Deskpro 386, and it was natural for them to develop solutions leveraging the specific features of their new hardware and in this case allowing existing EMS-compatible DOS programs to access all the memory.
