This will not work if you use emm386 just to provide umb's (ie with the 'noems' option); it will not work on IBM PS/2's, which have an extended BIOS located in the E000 segment; it may not work with some peripherals that use this segment. the emm386 invocation in your config.sys file would look something like this : DEVICE=C:\BIN\emm386.exe 1024 frame=E000 Jeff Johnson
