- Thanks to all who replied. It turns out that the MS mouse driver takes about
- 30K to initialize and I didn't have a 30K chuck of UMB for LOADHIGH to load it
- in. The mouse driver requires about 17K resident, which I did have in UMB.
-
- My temporary solution (until I can get QEMM 6.0 cheap) was to grab an older
- version of the MS mouse driver (v8.10) which still supported the /e and /u
- options, which leaves about 8k in conventional mem and throws the rest in high
- mem. It's a kludge, but it works. My only question is why did they eliminate
- the /e and /u options from the v8.2 mouse driver?
