Hi! > Amongst the different options you have your favourites (JEMM over > FD-EMM, MKEYB over FD-KEYB, etc) and such. What is dangerous is...
Depends. I prefer to say that you can try using X instead of Y and it may work better. It may also work worse! It is more about "trying something else" and not about "trying something better". However, I must say I do not like JEMM. Here some comparison... KEYB - many layouts, supports codepage switching, several files MKEYB - at most dozens of layouts, one file, easy, for 286+ BIOS HIMEM - classic, works quite okay, focus on compatibility HIMEMX - Win9x optimized defaults, fixes bugs, less compatibility EMM386 - classic, some special functionality incomplete JEMM386 - low RAM footprint, more complete functionality, needs more command line options for a "focus on compatibility" config JEMMEX - HIMEMX and JEMM386 combined into one program, no way to use it with another HIMEM or with EMM386-incompatible games etc. The two JEMM... also support protected mode (driver) plugins but so far no really cool ones are available. A port of the old XCDROM and XDMA drivers exists. UIDE is newer but not yet ported :-). I hope it is clear that the above is mostly a matter of my own taste and opinion, but I also hope it reflects some of the real differences between variants. Feel free to discuss wrong parts.
