But did you check it, for example, with "mem /c/p"? I bet that modern mobo won't leave you all of "conventional" 640 KB and most probably no free "upper memory" (for drivers etc.) at all. The "golden rule" is: "select motherboard that has at least one ISA slot" - and you can be 100% sure it will work under DOS control with no problem whatsoever -- regards, Zbigniew _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
