You missed Bernd's point. He wants to use more than 4-GB of memory, which is impossible with any current DOS software I know about. One or all of the XMS managers "still in maintenance" (my XMGR, Japheth's HIMEMX, and his combination JEMMEX) would need an upgrade, to support over 4-GB of XMS memory. My own RDISK driver creates up to a 2-GB RAMdisk, but I wrote it as a "FAT16" driver to run with old DOS systems, like my own V6.22 MS-DOS. 4-GB "FAT16" RAMdisks are possible, but not all DOS systems work with them -- V6.22 MS-DOS "CHKDSK" CRASHES when RDISK is patched for 4-GB!
