Jack's driver only accepts certain values. This might be intentional due to specific caching algorythms. Using XMSSIZE I'd still have to use a lot of errorlevel stuff: if not errorlevel 5 , then use /B /N1 /N3 if not errorlevel 10, then use /S5 if not errorlevel .. etc. if errorlevel 80, then use /S%errorlevel% (limited to 255 as that's errorlevel maximum). All above is based on 'how much XMS is currently available' but also ignores the 'how much should I leave available for programs I'd like to run' (8MB system using 5MB cache means trouble for games and Windows). I like automatic calculations and roundings in a program itself, just as is currently done for invalid sizes (unless aborting completely). Purely a cosmetic feature, just like the shown device name on: DEVICE=UIDE.SYS /D:FDCD0001 /N2 (no CD drives handled, UIDE$ char device created, FDCD0001 char device not created, but FDCD0001 char device still listed in sign-on message). Anyway all of this isn't important, just some thoughts. Thanks for mentioning Johnson Lam posted these drivers, I'll update my CD.
