DRDOS 5.0 and NEAT or LEAP chip 286, or 386 systems.
MEMMAX usage.
The following describes a information for DRDOS 5.00 and
EMM386.SYS or HIDOS.SYS that will simplify the MEM /A display so
that a customer can see and attempt maximizing the upper memory
area on a 386 or NEAT 286 machine.
Load either EMM386 or HIDOS.SYS (depending on the machine being used)
with ALL the options set to NONE. This will open access to upper
memory without placing anything there. (One could also load
/BDOS=FFFF, but why complicate things.)
Set HIDOS=OFF. This will keep the data structures from being moved
into upper memory.
Reboot and say 'YES' to loading the memory driver.
Be sure that MEMMAX -U, the default in AUTOEXEC.BAT, has been removed,
REMed, or corrected with MEMMAX +U.
Use MEM /A(P) to look at the FREE upper memory. One can now begin to
add /INCLUDE or /USE statements in CONFIG.SYS to do screen dumps of
the MEM /A display of upper memory along the way followed by a TYPE
of the CONFIG.SYS file so one can compare the MEM /A display to check
for progress.
as no idea all this is
going on. They jusn. They jus
