expanded memory

Jump to user comments

storage Memory used through EMS. In systems based on

Intel 80386 or later processor expanded memory is part of

the extended memory that is mapped into the expanded memorypage frame by the processor. The mapping is controlled by

the EMM. In earlier systems, a dedicated EMS hardware

adaptor is needed to map memory into the page frame. In both

cases, an appropriate device driver is needed for the proper

communication between hardware and EMM.
