- I got my Waffle boosted to 390k (of the base 640) by using the OS/2 DOS
- session settings:
- FILES 20
- DOS HIGH ON
- RESTRICT VIDEO CGA
- (and I dont' remember the others right off, but those are the key ones).
- Since waffle is text based, CGA is fine (though shelling to DOS and running
- a graphics based program isn't easy like it used to be :) ) and I still
- have full color text abilities. Funny thing. CGA returned more memory
- to Waffle than Monochrome. I didn't test EGA, though VGA only left
- 315k free.
