As noted in my drivers' README, I now recommend JEMMEX and JEMM386 only, for systems that need an EMM driver's features (0B000- 0B7FF upper memory, DPMI/VCPI/"protected mode", etc.). For such tasks, Japheth IS "The ONLY guy in town", as we say!! V4.49/V4.95 EMM386 (V6.22/V7.10 MS-DOS) do not handle many "Virtual DMA" options properly, and have not since 1994 when I began using such calls. UIDE/UIDEJR do Virtual-DMA "locks"/"unlocks" and use the returned "lock" 32-bit buffer address. I would NOT rely on other "Virtual DMA" options if using MS-DOS EMM386, since they still FAILED in 2004 when Lucho and I created the first UDMA driver! Jack R.
