I suggest you try make a boot disk which have only a single CONFIG.SYS. And have only 3 files on it: 1) himem.sys 2) emm386.exe 3) udma2.sys And then the CONFIG.SYS: ---- device=himem.sys device=emm386.exe device=udma2.sys ---- >I read the documentation and couldn't figure out any way of getting it to >work on my system.
