If you are using SSTOR then EMM386 is loaded in a file called DCONFIG.SYS. When you boot a SSTOR drive, DRDOS looks in DCONFIG.SYS and loads anything there just as if it was a CONFIG.SYS. The last things in DCONFIG are a driver that switches C and D:, making C: the compressed disk and D: the uncompressed disk, and then a CHAIN command to chain to CONFIG.SYS. If you want to load a different EMM driver, you need to put it in D:DCONFIG.SYS . Have I confused you? I've confused me. Good luck.
