ARGH!!! Maybe all that eggnog is addling some of the brains out there... It's not MS-DOS or PC-DOS that limits you to 640K, it's the IBM video card. The scene is Boca Raton... "Hey, Joe? Where should I put the video buffer?" "How about the middle of the address space? That way we'll have room for lots of nonexistent ROM expansions!" "Great, I'll do it!" In any case, I have run vanilla PC-DOS (no mods) with 960K of RAM available for normal program memory. Hint: It wasn't exactly on an IBM... -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Computers will never replace the Clayton Elwell wastebasket when it comes to Elwell@Ohio-State.ARPA streamlining office work. ...!cbosgd!osu-eddie!elwell ----------------------------------------------------------------------
