Any memory manager should be loaded first (if possible) and by itself.

EMM386.SYS or QEMM.SYS, but not both

HIMEM.SYS or HIDOS.SYS, but not both

I've loaded EMM386 and HIDOS together, same for QEMM and HIMEM, but was just
experimenting and would not recommend it.  Doesn't gain you anything plus may
cause problems down the line.

I used QEMM on my previous 386-25DX board because DR-DOS's manager would never
load right, but it now works flawlessly with my new 486-33DX Local Bus AMI
motherboard.  (Go figure??)  

There is definitely differences from one board to another, usually little quirky
things.  If you can't make a program work with a particular configuration then
use DR-DOS's menu feature in your CONFIG.SYS file.  I have 7 different 
configurations to select from for one reason or another.  

One quirk was on my 386 I could load Drivers, TSR's up into F000-F7FF without
any problems but had to exclude F000-FFFF for the 486.  Number of Engineering
programs crashed or wouldn't load until I excluded this region.
