Hi,
You could try HimemX an extended memory manager for FreeDOS. It works
similarly to the EMM386.EXE in MS-DOS. You can download HimemX from
https://github.com/FDOS/HimemX
To use it, add the following lines to your `config.sys` file:
DEVICE=HIMEMX.EXE
DOS=HIGH,UMB
Also MemEater is a small DOS utility that allocates extended memory (XMS).
It can help reduce the amount of available XMS to avoid the allocation
error. You can find MemEater on GitHub https://github.com/kklis/memeater
To use it, run the following command:
MEMEATER.EXE 20000
This command will allocate 20000 kB of extended memory, which will be
released when you reboot the computer.
In FreeDOS, you do not need memeater. HIMEM has options for that:
HIMEM [/MAX=####] [/METHOD:xxx] [/HMAMIN=n] [/NUMHANDLES=m]
[/TESTMEM:ON|OFF] [/VERBOSE] [/NOABOVE16] [/X] [/LOG]
/MAX=##### limit memory controlled by HIMEM to #####K
...
/NOX2MAX32 Do not limit XMS 2.0 free/avail. memory report to 32M-1K
...
/X2MAX32 Limit XMS 2.0 free/avail. memory report to 32M-1K
(default)
