Hi Michael:
Thanks again for the help. That didn't change the symptoms at
all from just using NOEMS...still get the error from DOS/32A!
What does DOSDATA=UMB do? I am booting from a USB floppy
drive most of the time...occasionally from a CD with a 1.44MByte
floppy disk image. Development kernel, command.com, and
SYS command. New himem.exe/emm386.exe.
NTFS4DOS failed to load at all.
config.sys:
!LASTDRIVE=Z
!BUFFERS=20
!FILES=40
!DOS=HIGH,UMB
!DOSDATA=UMB
echo NTFS4DOS included by permission from datapol gmbh, germany
echo NTFS4DOS and this CD may only be used on "private computers"
echo and for "private uses"
echo See www.datapol.de/dpd.
