But, (is there always one?) does the "RAM" option fall within "a compatibility problem"? I use it as default for one reason: I install it on any client machine and I don't expect it to do any optimization, but to provide _some_ UMB which ususaly makes a better system as a whole.
RAM should work as of last or last+1 EMM386 unless you mean with a range. It's basically a null option with FreeDOS, though. Is that what you're asking me, or am I missing the question?
Not exaclty, I meant not as a NULL option for compatibility only, but as not-so-smart-but-functional option in that doesn't go over the head to get all available memory, but anything that is both easy and safe like one big block just below the bios or whatever.
My basic assuption is that on most machines this is just fine, but when I posted a comment about that here some time ago, I remember some arguments that this is not so good any more and the latest ones with Serial-ATA and other things consume most of UMB :(
