Gang, In standard DOS the area above 604k was reserved for video memory, boot rom/bios and adapters requiring I/O. Now that I have DOS fullly loaded, I am trying to optimize the memory for best results. The problem is that Parallels is taking up all the memory between 640K and 1M. Typically Video memory was 8-32K, but parallels maps 128K of memory for video. Is there any way to change this? Second it takes up another 128K for ADAPTER Space above that and the the Bios & Boot ROM take up the rest. This means there is no way to enable EMS memory because there is no room for a page frame of 64K. Any ideas... Anyone at Parallels even read the forum???? Thanks Gordon
I'm having the same problem, too, except that I want to use QEMM (one of my favs from the DOS era) rather than HIMEM/EMM386. Has anyone come up with a solution and not posted it? Its pretty frustrating.
