Hi there,
I'm having a strange problem with OpenDOS. I need expanded memory
to run a program (the msx2 emulator). After reading dosbook,
I mended my config.sys thus:
rem CONFIG.SYS
rem
rem For OpenDOS 7.01, multitasking disabled
rem DJGPP suite program will work but won't multitask.
rem
DEVICE=C:\OPENDOS\EMM386.EXE MULTITASKING=OFF FRAME=E000
DEVICE=C:\OPENDOS\DPMS.EXE
DEVICE=C:\OPENDOS\SETVER.EXE
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /E:512 /P
BREAK=OFF
BUFFERS=15
FILES=20
FCBS=4,4
LASTDRIVE=E
HISTORY=ON,512,ON
COUNTRY=1,,C:\OPENDOS\COUNTRY.SYS
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICEHIGH=C:\DEV\ATAPI_CD.SYS /D:NWCD000
Shouldn't this make EMS available? However, if I type mem this is what I
get:
Ú Memory Type --------- Total Bytes ( Kbytes ) ------ Available For

³ Largest executable program: 628,544 ( 614K

³ Total Free DOS memory: 633,936 ( 619K

What error di I make?
If someone emailed me his/her config.sys with EMS support, I'd really
appreciate it.
Thank you in advance,
Guido =8-)
