You probably mean the LOWDMA sys and com which come with UMBPCI. In that case, you can patch 80FCA05B into 80F0105B to trap not only I/O buffers in UMB or HMA but all buffers. Will make things slow but still useful as you will not need to use LH that way. Your disk image writing tools are probably 1.44 MB in size because they embed the whole floppy image, but they do not have to have 1.44 MB free DOS memory, luckily ;-) Note that LOWDMA only traps CHS I/O and not LBA I/O, but LBA is rarely used by a floppy image writer anyway. Cheers, Eric PS: Lowdma also comes with source code, so if you have the Assembler, you can of course also patch the source (comparison to 0xA0, not the one while loading but the one in the int handler) if you prefer that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
