Just use a 32-bit extender for DOS or use a real 32-bit OS (like linux, os2, solaris, winnt, beos, etc). Then all memorymanagement problems are gone and the PC becomes a very wonderfull machine. Theoretically capable of emulating a MSX with 4MB memory mapper in every subslot... Besides, I saw Linus yesterday on CNN. He is much cooler then Bil. So, I've decided to become a Linus fan in stead of a Bil fan ;-) Kind regards, Alex Wulms -- Alex Wulms/XelaSoft - MSX of anders NIX - Linux 4 ever See my homepage for info on the *** XSA *** format http://www.inter.nl.net/users/A.P.Wulms MSX Mailinglist.
