Re: [N8VEM: 14772] Re: Xi 8088 - The improved version of my XT board



The 4MEM board can provide LIM EMS 3.2 for ECB based CPU boards.  Perhaps the 4MEM circuit can be adapted for a plug-in board for the 8088 motherboard.

The driver is in Board Information \ ECB Processor Boards \ ECB SBC-188 \ BIOS039.ZIP \\ file EMM4MEM.SYS (EMM4MEM.ASM).

LIM EMS - should be possible to design one. The simplest
implementation would have a single 16 KiB window, and implementation
will be very similar to paged RAM/ROM implementation in N8VEM SBC:
- Some SRAM, e.g. 4 or 8 512KiB chips
- Map register(s) that provide top address bits (A14-A21)
- Address decode logic - for SRAM and for the map register(s), can be
implemented using 74LS688 or similar ICs. For SRAM it also will need
to include chip select logic, something like 74LS138 decoder.
