- I am having a great deal of difficulty getting MSC7.0 to run on an Intel
- 302 box.
- This is a 25mhz 386 machine. My tests are showing that there is something
- strange
- about the hardware that is preventing the C compiler from running under
- DOS 5.0.
- The C compiler (CL) reports the message "R6906 : DOSX32 - not enough
- conventional memory
- for exec". I have worked with Qualitas (makers of 386MAX) to see if they
- can help. No luck.
- Microsoft is also looking into the problem. There must be something funny
- about the
- machine. I say this because the DOS directory where DOS 5.0 is installed
- has a README
- that "singles out" the Intel 302 box whenever you install HIMEM.SYS. You
- must include
- a /MACHINE:8 parameter to HIMEM.SYS.
-
- Anyone got any ideas?
