downgrade to kernel 2027 or earlier ;) It's an "undocumented" DOS limitation; other DOSes also have the BUFFERS in one segment, although I think some may be able able to place them in a UMB rather than the HMA. I don't see this as a big problem: 38 buffers seems plenty to me and if you want more buffering there's cache anyway as you know very well (or in other words I don't know why the poster needed 40 of them).
