Setting the Shadow RAM

Your computer can access RAM (random access memory) faster

than ROM (read-only memory). The Shadow RAM feature

enables the Equity 286 PLUS to copy the contents of its system
BIOS and/or video ROM into RAM so it can perform certain

operations faster. It uses the RAM memory between the first
640KB and 1MB.

The SETUP Shadow RAM option lets you choose what to place

in the shadow RAM area:

System

Video

System and video

N o n e .

Select System+Video unless

you

have installed a memory

card or video card that provides its own shadow RAM (in which
case you can select just

System

or just

Video ).

Select

None if you do not want to use the Shadow RAM function
