- Both claim that replacing HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE or their equivalents
- with OS2\MDOS\HIMEM.SYS and EMM.SYS will work.
-
- They don't, at least for me. This is off a DOS 5.00 VMDISK image,
-
- I've got FSFILTER installed, so that isn't it. It actually reports
- loading in the two OS/2 mem drivers, but the MEM command shows only
- conventional...
-
- The mouse works though.
-
- TFS> I'm not sure about UMBs and DOS loaded high -- anyone?
-
- No luck with UMBs here, since normally HIMEM.SYS controls those
