OK, I have a suggestion:
you can get more upper memory by enabling some more: (in config.sys)
device=c:\dos\emm386.exe noems i=b000-b7ff
This also turns EMS off (EMS takes 64KB of upper memory for its frame)
You can also run memmaker to make it think of more memory space for
you (Choose the agressive mode). I don't use MS-DOS that much any
more, but you'll get the idea. :)
IIRC you can enable more but I'm not sure exactly what; my laptop
reckons it needs X=D000-DFFF because of the PCMCIA card.
FWIW:

MS-DOS is resident in the high memory area.
As you can see the PCMCIA drivers aren't loaded, since I don't use
any cards (except the floppy drive, but that works without the
drivers if it is plugged in when the computer is turned on.
And here's my edited CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT (since I use a
multiple-boot menu)
