Hi everybody, an update about UIDE (IDE/SATA/UDMA driver/cache for harddisk/CD/DVD)
> http://johnson.tmfc.net/dos/driver.html ... > www.drdosprojects.de/forum/drp_forum/posts/8707.html ... > The new UIDE uses 5 kB of DOS RAM, which can be split into 1+4k > with 4 kB in HMA with MS DOS (6.x has 20k, 7.x has 9k HMA free). > Not in FreeDOS, HMA free *after* DEVICEs - maybe DEVLOAD helps? Jack reports the following about using DEVLOAD to load UIDE after config sys, because at that time even in FreeDOS free space in the HMA becomes available for use by drivers such as UIDE...: >> UIDE loaded successfully... MEM showed an upper-memory size >> of 1056 bytes for UIDE as-expected, with most of its logic >> thus being resident in the HMA. No problems. Good news for those who want to have more of their low 640k free :-) Note that he used DEVLOAD /H (load into UMB) and that UIDE must, of course, be loaded before SHSUCDX if you want to use it for CD/DVD.
