Hi Jamie,
>> I was looking for an easy way to turn EMS off and ON. I guess that was >> what the menu was for. Yes. You do not need memmaker for that, just define a little menu or, even easier, make the loading of EMM386 conditional. The FreeDOS kernel will then ask you a yes/no question about loading it each time when you boot: http://help.fdos.org/en/hhstndrd/cnfigsys/question.htm http://help.fdos.org/en/hhstndrd/cnfigsys/menu.htm >> also don't seem to have much low level memory even if I don't load >> many drivers. Please be more specific. Note that you cannot send files to the mailing list, but you can just copy and paste the contents of your usage.txt and config.sys and autoexec bat as long as it is not too much :-) I doubt that the DOSEMU HIMEM works on real hardware, as DOSEMU simulates parts of the memory management. Of course this means that the DOSEMU drivers need very little RAM. The HIMEM from Windows 3.x is probably also less optimized (but indeed probably more Windows compatible) than those versions which come with FreeDOS... Note that HIMEM only lets you use DOS=HIGH (put kernel in HMA) and FreeCom "XMS Swap" (let command com move to XMS when running programs leaves not enough low RAM to keep it there). You usually do want EMM386 - or UMBPCI - if you have big drivers and want to move them to UMB. Those have no other ways of being outside your low 640k. But as said, it helps to use less big drivers. Looking forward to read your usage.txt and other files!
