I load it in config.sys : DEVICE=C:\DEVS\RDOSUMB.COM #19 * DEVICEHIGH=C:\DEVS\JEMMEX.EXE A20METHOD:FAST FRAME=E000 VERBOSE NOE801 NOE820 NORAM D=0 VCPI DOS=UMB,HIGH DEVICEHIGH=C:\DEVS\EMSDSK.EXE 4364 /c02 . . . and see this after autoexec.bat finishes: Volume in drive G has no label Directory of G:\ COMMAND COM 93,963 10-12-03 4:49 E3 EXE 4,095 02-03-08 22:48 LF COM 256 07-03-09 2:59 BROWSE COM 1,044 24-02-91 3:04 TETRIS COM 2,048 13-04-05 23:29 6 file(s) 101,406 bytes 0 dir(s) 325,632 bytes free Note the reported free value. There is a value of EMSDSK size (5648K) above which dir reports correct values. If I omit the FRAME option in CONFIG.SYS, then I see this message during boot: *** EMS RAMdisk v1.9I (FU - 08/98): ems get frame error and EMSDSK does not install. The memory map in this case shows no EMMXXXX0. It seems that FreeDOS does not work well with real-mode UMBs, since EMSDSK no longer shows any problems if I rem the first line in CONFIG.SYS and change the NORAM option to RAM. Looking into UMBs (when they are real-mode), I found command.com there, possibly overlapping the EMS frame area. Should real-mode UMBs be different from UMBs created by paging ? DR/MS/PC DOS work well with real-mode UMBs.
