Try loading Sounds like you might be using an old version EMM386 that needs updating. EMM386 does not allocate extended memory beyond its own requirements until and unless it is needed. If you are loading a driver or program after EMM386 and before SBPCI which uses extended or EMS memory, then you need to change that load order. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.

[Freedos-user] SBPCI Sound Driver and EMS Memory
Hello, I have a problem with the SBPCI Sound Driver under FreeDOS, could someone help me ? When I use the default configuration for HIMEM and EMM386 : DEVICE=C:\FDOS\BIN\HIMEM.EXE DEVICE=C:\FDOS\BIN\EMM386.EXE I have then 32MB of EMS. and then I try to load SBPCI I got the following error : error: Could not allocate code/patch RAM below 4 Mbyte boudary. Try loading APIinit.com before SMARTDRV.EXE or minimizing VDISK.RAM. PCI audio driver NOT loading By searching in the mailing list archive I found that limitating the EMS size to 2MB would solve the problem : DEVICE=C:\FDOS\BIN\EMM386.EXE EMM=2048 Then SBPCI loads fine but I have only 2MB EMS which is not enoug for my games. Is there a way to have SBPCI loaded and 32MB of EMS at the same time ? I have solved my probem by using Microsoft's EMM386 : DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE Microsoft's EMM386 allows me to load SBPCI fine avec have 32MB of EMS. But I would like to have a 100% Microsoft-free OS so I would like to have it working with FreeDOS's EMM386. Is it possible ?
