[Freedos-kernel] Re: BUFFERS problem: wasting low memory if HMA too small

Hi! Undocumented limitations like "buffers are in one segment" can be countered in two ways: Document them (show a warning, like "only N buffers possible in HMA, have to keep all buffers in low RAM") or (possibly configurable) ignore them (put 38 buffers in HMA and 2 in low RAM, but offer a SWITCH
