Hi Jim,
I'm bringing back to the list an item we talked about on the video
call today: the issue with JEMMEX on VMWare and some hardware configs.
One solution is to not include some memory areas, such as when the
installer detects VMWare (that's an easy fix).
It should not be the job of the installer to know about certain,
not even real, hardware, what is broken in it.
Instead, it would be nice if we could select JEMMEX options which
are humble enough in UMB selection.
The problem here is that it is unclear what the underlying issue is, it
seems it's an issue with VMWare not handling UMB
areas/excluding/including the way it says/is supposed to do.
The special treatment in the installer would be a (temporary?)
workaround that doesn't any special treatment in JEMM itselfs, which
would just lead to code bloat, with more possibilities for something to
go wrong...
