Hello,

My hardware specs are: pentium-100, 8mb ram, vga, pc speaker, etc...
My software specs are: ms-dos from 5.0 to 6.22, that's it, no extra drivers or anything.

How can I make ms-dos be loaded in upper memory?

What should my config.sys look like ?

I tried a few combinations I found on internet with no luck, it either took ~64k my conventional or extended or high memory.

notice: I don't want to load it to extended or high memory, only to UMA (above 640kb, below 1mb)

Thanks much in advance.

Hi, what does it look like now?
There are lots of possibilities for tweaking.

Also, since my knowledge of Blood is little,
maybe the problem is a different one?
Issues with DPMI, for example. Or EMM386 has compatibility issues?
I don't know. Maybe some memory manager (Qemm) can do its magic here.
