Hi Bernd, why would you want HIMEM to take XMS control
away from FDXMS286 / replace FDXMS286? The simpler way
is to load HIMEM first - if 386 present - and then load
FDXMS286: The latter will fail if either HIMEM loaded
successfully (386 or better CPU) or if a pre-286 CPU is
present. Makes more se

It isn't relevant, as it is overly specific for the example and

fdxms286 checks for a 286+-level if a 386-level driver is already load

Why to duplicate checks, which already present in himem and emm386?
Why depend on on drivers to unload cleanly if they fail, which they already
do not always do in closed-source drivers, despite prot

Hi, I would like to comment on the method of first
running a TESTER and then doing a conditional DEVICE=...
Personally I think that detecting the CPU level (8086,
286, 386, 486, 586) can be useful in automatic config
selection. I also think that the kernel should
auto-detect floating point suppor

Yes, that was a rather stupid question about win drivers for DOS.
And is there any tip for a 100% DOS compatible PCI sound card? I mean no
drivers, etc needed?
Thanks in advance!
