I don't know about FDXXMS and won't support problems with it, so you are on your own there. HIMEM[64] is the approved XMS driver with EMM386. >An old version of PC Config (new versions are freeware) failed with an >illegal instruction in "cmp [bx],0xfc80" where EBX is 0x0001ffff, interesting. I found a problem with the current PC Config under EMM386. It needs emulation of the opcode mov dr7,eax. After that was added, PC Config ran fine for me in all its info windows. Interesting program with lots of hardware information, confirms that my sound card is completely inaccessible from DOS. >Lemmings 3d demo / shareware version (contains only the practice levels and >one level per difficulty level) does NOT work with EMM386 but I remember that >it worked with DR DOS EMM386. There was a bug in EMM386. Map multiple pages, EMS 4.0 function 50h, was broken. I fixed that and Lemmings runs for me. Cute game, although I cannot play well enough to save any of them. Okay, two more down. SLOWDOWN is next. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
