Hi Eric,

What is the purpose of those? Are you sure to need them?
how about googling this yourself?
'31.03.2006 - The IBMDSS14.SYS, IBMDOSCS.SYS and DICRMU01.SYS files
are PCMCIA Card and Socket. Services for the sample model IBM laptop.'
That is correct, I need to re-install them since I accidentally deleted
one of them. They where also not loading correctly at the time I wrote
this.(I am now trying "high" and maybe will try just "device". II am not
currently using my PCMCA slots but might be in the future. I do have an
Ethernet card but I don't know that it is supported in dos or base
Windows 3.1.
Upper Memory is not accessible
Yes how do I fix this, I did it accidentally before.
I think it just falls back to loading low, but you can
explicitly change DEVICEHIGH into DEVICE to try out.
Ok I'll try that.
it DOES fall back, no need to try.
C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE /X
Are you sure that Windows SMARTDRV is a good cache for you?
yes, absolutely. SMARTDRV beats all FreeDOS caches by a long shot.
It is not shown in your MEM output, does it fail to load?
most likely because it refuses to work on FreeDOS ?
I have found out since posting this that the "/X" option is not
supported in my version of SMARTDRV. It is running now.
Win /2
don't try to use WIN on FreeDOS; keep your working MSDOS.
So you use DOS only for Windows? Interesting. You
may want to check out the HXRT extender which can
run basic Windows software without needing Windows.
AFAIK HXRT will run WinNT command line .PE executables; not WIn 3.1
executables.
HXRT is not a WIN 3.1 replacement

You are correct Tom, I have tried it. Windows is something I want to use
at this time. I quit to dos to run dos programs though.
Also the other things are sound drivers. The Cystal one is my sound card
and it loads a fake sound blaster pro into memory. Dos and Windows can
then use that to play audio. Windows can't nativly use the sound card in
286 mode and FreeDos can not be easily configured to run in 386
mode.(all my attempts have failed).
There is another sound blaster pro driver which I think Windows needs to
operate the fake Sound Blaster Pro.
Even with these not loaded HwInfo(and info utility) gives me out of
memory errors.
