NEITHER a "misunderstanding", NOR any "confusion", at least not in MY mind! Do note what I posted AFTER my comments about the EMM386 drivers from my [obviously] "much adored" Gates & Co. -- >> ... I also want NOTHING to do with FD-EMM386 and anyone who >> wonders why can read the Revision Notes for JEMM386, to view >> all of what Japheth had to do BEFORE poor old FD-EMM386 worked >> even "plausibly" as the new JEMM386! "Extensively tested", you say?? If so, and given that the last FD-EMM386 upgrade is still dated 27-Aug-2006, then how would you explain all the updates, in Japheth's "Changelog" for his JEMMEX and JEMM386 drivers, that are dated AFTER 27-Aug-2006??!! Also, note that JEMM386/JEMMEX are now part of the FreeDOS "Base Software" list, while FD-EMM386 is no-longer so included. I have reviewed Japheth's "Changelog", I believe much of what he had to do changing FD-EMM386 to JEMM386 are "Flat-Ass DISASTERS" and I shall continue to AVOID using FD-EMM386, just like I would avoid the PLAGUE!! > About the A20 issue.

In my opinion, you need quite a bit more "evidence", BEFORE you can fault the "A20" line only because your crash appeared to occur "with only XMS"!! Jack R.
