No worries about that. If the driver can't load high, it defaults to conventional. Literally the only downside is that your CONFIG.SYS file is a bit bigger.

Yea, but it's still too much effort for less free memory than a C64.

Interesting. Tell me about that C64 with 610k memory. 😀

I/O, I/O,
It's off to disk I go,
With a bit and a byte
And a read and a write,
I/O, I/O

Tell me how I can double the 640k conventional memory limit. 😀

I meant I could only free up a max of 30k if I loaded EVERYTHING high and nothing existed in conventional memory, which is less free memory than a C64.

EDIT:

Also there was a 512k memory expansion for the C64

not EXACTLY 640k, but it's not far off, and pretty cool for a C64
