Thank you all. Below is a first cut to beat up on.
The box I am using for this has two floppies, a ZIP100, DVDROM\CDROM, DVD W\CD W, two HDD; both plug in. All are functional under FD.
On the HDD that is plugged in for this exercise, C: drive currently boots DRDOS 7, FreeDOS 5, MSDOS 6 and Win98SE. So, config.sys and autoexec.bat have dedicated names for each OS.
Does FreeDOS not have emm386.exe or dpms.exe?
Under FreeDOS, mem.exe /D/E/F/U/X reports: Largest executable program size 495K ( 506,384 bytes)
Under DRDOS--with a LOT more stuff loaded-- mem.exe /a reports: Largest executable program size 622128 ( 608K )
