Hi Richard,

not sure whether a dos extender with 4gb flat memory segments
is useful... I mean there already are dpmione and hdpmi which
have quite some punch and even dos32a and cwsdpmi are not bad.

About your 386/AT disk - good old AT probably is still the same
as (parallel) ATA / IDE today, so as long as you can find out
the correct geometry (maybe printed on some label on the disk?)
a modern computer should be able to access the disk...

You should check the thread with Roberto Waldteufel in the list
archive, around April 2005: Roberto could use 2 GB with cwsdpmi
and 3.24 GB with dpmione. The rest was probably reserved RAM for
things like framebuffers, other MMIO, BIOS and ACPI, hibernate?

Eric
