- I am having a difficult time determining the total conventional memory value
- as reported by CHKDSK and MEM. MEM reports both total conventional memory
- and bytes available to DOS. I know that the memory available to DOS can be
- determined with BIOS interrupt 12h. But I'm not sure about total conventional
- memory. Is this value calculated, or is there a service available which will
- report this value? Perhaps in the mysterious list of lists? Can someone
- point me in the right direction? Thanks for any help.
