Hi! As you probably already know, I have a Win98SE tower at my mother's house which has issues with DOS memory in Windows mode. I recently removed a Windows-based RAM drive and replaced it with a DOS-based one, and it fixed a glitch I've been having with the graphics driver. It also got a buggy emulator to work. When I tested it with UMBs and EMS, it helped only somewhat: Windows started up properly but gave me exceptions after log on. I don't remember if I was also testing EMS, though. I want to try it again. If I fail, I want to know if DOSBox will run on it? It is only Win98SE but has a P4/2.6GHz microprocessor and 1 GB RAM.
