Did some more testing trying to maximize conventional memory availability.

Unfortunately I'm still running into stability issues using DOSMAX. I'll get random lock-ups when performing basic DOS functions (e.g. DIR, MEM). It's not as frequent as when I was using the PK-X486S50-3. But it's also not consistent so I'm still struggling to determine what the cause is. If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears.

I also tried using SHELLMAX which seems to work and frees up more conventional RAM. So far the most I've been able to get in a stable configuration is 580k (594,016 bytes).

Here is my current CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT listings.
