Installing DOS 5 on a machine with a 1542B SCSI controller,
I have a problem with EMM386.EXE. It doesnt work. System
crashes as soon as you try to put something in a UMB, such
as loading RAMDRIVE using devicehigh. Similar problem also
seen with a 1740 EISA SCSI.

I have tried mapping out various bits of high memory, but
to no effect. Devices are configured at the default 1542 BIOS
addresses.

Any ideas ?
