When I enable both “Fast gate A20 option” and “Cyrix A20M pin” in the bios then HIMEM won’t install. It says ERROR: Unable to control A20 line. XMS not installed.
It will work when I disable the 1st or the 2nd option.
My question is, which one should I disable?

Something is wrong with this PC anyway. I tried Doom but then we’re talking frames per minute 😩.
Specs are: Unichip 386WB Rev 1.0 367c mobo with 128kb cache, TX486DLC/40, IIT4C87DLC-40, 8MB RAM, 420MB HDD.

Ah, the old sun tan lotion (SPF instead of FPS)
