Problem solved, I discovered a switch on EMM386.EXE which was
allocating the memory space B000 onwards to use in shadowing.
As for debugging with Dual Display, Absolutely brilliant!
Thanks Robert for creating such a cool package.
If anyone is compiling a list of HOW-TO's for RHIDE, under
the Dual Debugging section put it a sentence about checking
that your memory manager isn't stealing the Video Card's
memory. It will help anyone else who is having the same
problem a bit of time. (just my 2 cents worth).
Cheers,
Graham.
