- DP> the DOS 5.0 MEM command always shows available XMS memory to be 3mb

-
- Yes, I can comment,
-
- Please Read your QEMM386 manual. It states clearly that QEMM defaults to
- handling only 12 Mbytes of extended RAM. (Page 36 under EMBMEM command).
-
- Add EMBMEM=15360 after the RAM or ON parameter on your DEVICE=QEMM386.SYS
- line. Don't feel bad about missing it, I only picked it up after I lost 20 Mb.
- out of 32, after upgrading from 8.
