One more time - EMM386.SYS loads _by itself_, without config.sys entry, but
I can't find out why, although I assume it's because of the SSTOR drives.. I
can't get rid of it...

(I may have to wipe the disk and reboot with QEMM.SYS, and THEN try using
SSTOR, but it's more work than I want to take on right now.)
