REM Enable upper memory and load DOS high
device=c:\tandy\use!umbs.sys C800-DFFF

To the best of my knowledge use!umbs.sys has to be manually patched and has no command line options?

I also wrote something similar for my tandy sx + xt machines. umb is designed to work with himem.sys which has the umb api in it.

works nicely with mcbexp which allows you to add memory to the MCB chain when you know the ram blocks exist.

Thanks, both of you! My 1000tl now sees 64kb ems page as high memory but I'm unable to turn that into umb or load dos high yet, small steps. I had it working some time ago but lost the configs.

Using dr-dos himem.sys with /CHIPSET=EMSALL I now have 64kb of upper memory blocks. That's pretty good tbh.
