Let me know if that fixes or modifies the current behavior with VDS
parameter.
no change in VMware Workstation 4.5.2 (PC emulator, Intel P4 processor)
booting from BIOS directly to harddisk.
Maybe a floppy would be better :)
We're keeping this on the user-list or going to 'devel' list?
scenario 1 (works)
HIMEM
EMM386.EXE (no VDS)
scenario 2 (works)
HIMEM
UDMA2
EMM386
scenario 3 (fails, complains about missing SHELL)
HIMEM
EMM386.EXE VDS
scenario 4 (works)
HIMEM
UDMA2
EMM386 VDS
scenario 5 (fails at accessing C:\FDOS\BIN\UDMA2.SYS because that
requires accessing the harddisk to retrieve the file):
HIMEM
EMM386 VDS
UDMA2
What's still strange is that UDMA2 somehow sets the right conditions for
EMM386's VDS parameter to work without any troubles.
