Expanded memory is used to describe the possibility for a program
to access up to 32 Mbytes of memory above its conventional
memory.
Expansion memories can be installed to expand the standard
memory of a PG. After installation, the new memory size is
entered in the SETUP menu.
The extended memory is the memory which lies beyond the
1 Mbyte memory limit. The size of the extended memory must be
entered in the SETUP menu and is compared with the existing
extended memory. An add-on memory can be installed in a PG to
increase the size of the memory. The entry in the SETUP must,
however, be changed if a memory extension is added.
