That is so old, I would guess we have already implemented most of the relevant calls... Maybe you can grep in the FreeDOS kernel sources... Note that mcelhanon also has a point - the "Deskwork" website had some document about how to let Win 3 run with more RAM, but in the long run it is probably easier to hide the extra RAM by telling HIMEM / EMM386 or similar drivers to touch at most a certain amount. We had options for that at some point, because some old games had similar problems. Also, the PCI "SoundBlaster" cards in fact are not hardware compatible to SoundBlaster but come with some driver to create a virtual SB16, as mentioned. That driver is picky with EMM386, for example JEMM386 had a special option to enable compatibility tricks just for that driver :-p In any case, to run Win 3.x in "386 enhanced" mode, you must NOT load EMM386-style drivers (no JEMMEX either) unless those implement special functions to let Windows take over with the driver built into that. So you do not need DOS EMM386 drivers that badly while Windows runs using 386enh mode anyway, bad luck for UMB - unless you use non-EMM drivers to provide UMB, no idea if those would work with 386enh Windows... It is easy to guess that only Microsoft EMM386 and a few big commercial EMM386 drivers took the effort to implement those "GEMMIS" functions, only Windows 386enh mode uses them after all.
