Please try before shouting. If MS RAMDRIVE in MS kernel with MS HIMEM still
crashes with Jazz Jackrabbit, it is Jazz's fault. But I think that it is
EITHER the XMS driver, the ramdisk driver or the kernel. Not all three of
them and not none of them. We should find and fix this component then. I can
only tell you that I found no working combination yet, but others will have
more components around to compare (e.g. MS kernel and drivers).

We should indeed tell our users about UMBPCI, but we simply MAY not include
it. It is updated too often and the author insists that all mirrors are kept
very up to date. A weekly Ibiblio mirror might be okay, but a CD-ROM image
which is only updated a few times per year is NOT an acceptable mirror for
the UMBPCI author.

Eric.
