Smartdrv.exe isin't loading because it claims there is no XMS memory
available to it.
My config.sys is:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /verbose
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS VERBOSE
DOS=HIGH,UMB,NOAUTO
BUFFERSHIGH=50,0
FILESHIGH=50
STACKSHIGH=32,512
SWITCHES /F /W
BREAK=ON
Autoexec.bat is:
LH C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.EXE A- B- C+ /V 4096 4096 /E:8192 /B:8192
This is DOS 7.1 (the DOS that came with win-98se).
I've tried reducing config.sys by removing:
BUFFERSHIGH=50,0
FILESHIGH=50
STACKSHIGH=32,512
but smartdrive still doesn't load. The mem command seems to show that
DOS doesn't understand how much XMS ram there is, or doesn't know how to
use it. I don't want to pull any ram out of the system to get this to
work. What other tricks can I try?
