Do you mean, that LBACACHE copies itself to (or allocates memory at)
end of MCB chain?! Bad behavior, it this is so. :( Anyway, reread my words
below:

(Q/MS)EMM386 joins A000 segment to base memory notwithstanding running
OS (and _now_, with my patch, FreeDOS not hangs, but gets same expanded base
memory). Which other "compatability" do you mean?
ase> Someone would complain that it isn't necessary to do that in MS-DOS.
? _Now_ behavior of FD is same as with MS-DOS (ie. it not hangs when
base memory size is more than 640k after loading some driver).
PS: My host OS is a MS-DOS and I permanently compare FreeDOS behavior with
MS-DOS whereas possible. For example, now FD menus look more like MS-DOS.
