Hi, here is an interesting suggestion from Jack: In spite of the limitation of FreeDOS to support only one UMB provider, it seems to be possible to do the following to mix different UMB sources:
> [...] It is NOT necessary to modify your kernel to get more UMBs > in the monochrome-video area. A "one provider" solution is: [...] > DOS=HIGH,UMB > DEVICE=C:\...\LOWDMA.SYS > DEVICE=C:\...\UMBPCI.SYS > DEVICE=C:\...\HIMEMX.EXE > DEVICE=C:\...\UIDE.SYS ... > DEVICE=C:\...\JEMM386.EXE I=B000-B7FF S=nnnn-nnnn NOEMS [...] > LOWDMA, provided with UMBPCI, is needed only if diskettes will > be used. UMBPCI will find no XMS manager loaded yet, thus it > only enables "Shadow RAM". HIMEMX loads before UIDE, as UIDE > needs XMS. UIDE must load before JEMM386 enables "V86" mode, > to be safe on new cheap-BIOS mainboards like Martin Rehak has. > > JEMM386 can then provide the monochrome-video area (B000-B7FF) > AND "Shadow RAM" (S= variables) as upper-memory to the kernel. > S= values must be determined in advance, via programs provided > with UMBPCI and JEMM386, as JEMM386 never had an S=TEST.
