- Using Stacker will take up about 40K of your memory. So unless you are using
- QEMM to provide EMS, you might have little memory left for game which requires
- EMS if you are using EMM386.EXE. I suggest you leave the game drive unstacked
- so that you can still boot from floopy drive and access it. One good example
- are Origin's games (like Wing Commander series, Ultima Underworld etc..)
