Yes, I'm afraid it's me again after some help.  I've a 286 machine
running under drdos 6 with 2 megs of extra memory.  Now my problem is
this, I cannot seem to load dos into the upper memory area:  well not
quite true, I can do it, and it says it's done, however, the machine
runs for approximately 10 minutes before locking up totally.  Now
perhaps I could understand this if I were running programs, however,
even if I leave the machine doing absolutely nothing, having booted up,
it still does the same thing.  If I load dos conventionally, however,
all runs well except for the fact that ka9q seems to object to not
having enough memory and often stops running.

Let's see, what else is important:  I'm running a vga card, so my
question is, should I be able to load dos into the upper memory area
okay, if so, why does it lock up.  The  config.sys is as follows:
device=c:\boca\bratemse.sys
DEVICE = c:\DRDOS\HIDOS.SYS /bdos=auto
SHELL=c:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /P /E:1024
BREAK=ON 
BUFFERS=15
FILES=40
FCBS=4,4
LASTDRIVE=Z
rem HISTORY=ON, 256, OFF, OFF, OFF
DEVICE=c:\ANSI.SYS

so nothing particularly unusual there.
It occurs whether I rem out the first line or not.
Any help please, or am I asking the poor thing to do something it's just
not capable of?
