Been a long time since I had to think about them, and despite minimal
knowledge never really used them beyond the 384k on 286 systems. Mine only
ever had the 1Mb total.

Extended Memory vs eXpanded Memory.

There used to be drivers around for conversion in all directions. Even in
QEMM support still existed, not sure if available in all versions.  Again my
experience is pretty limited but in the 286 age you had systems looking for
both types of memory.  Off hand pretty much everything ought to have XMS but
EMS generally requires support.
