Examples

Device = HIMEM.SYS

Installs the XMS device driver. Once this driver is installed, accessing
the HMA and Extended Memory (XMS) memory areas is legal. The
Extended Memory area can contain up to 2 GB’s of memory. Typical
systems have 4, 8, or 16 MB’s XMS memory installed.

Device = HIMEM.SYS /machine:1

Forces the use of the AT style A20 line control.

The HIMEM driver fails to load if the machine does not have memory
above the 1 MB boundary or the BIOS does not provide support for it.
It also fails to load if another XMS manager has been installed
previously.
