I noticed that these device lines are not longer working but I think
it's cause I don't have a UMB driver. I need to re-install them anyways
since I accidentally deleted one of them.

Hi Jamie,
I was looking for an easy way to turn EMS off and ON. I guess that was
what the menu was for.
Yes. You do not need memmaker for that, just define a little
menu or, even easier, make the loading of EMM386 conditional.
The FreeDOS kernel will then ask you a yes/no question about
loading it each time when you boot:
http://help.fdos.org/en/hhstndrd/cnfigsys/question.htm
http://help.fdos.org/en/hhstndrd/cnfigsys/menu.htm
also don't seem to have much low level memory even if I don't load
many drivers.
Please be more specific. Note that you cannot send files
to the mailing list, but you can just copy and paste the
contents of your usage.txt and config.sys and autoexec
bat as long as it is not too much :-)
I doubt that the DOSEMU HIMEM works on real hardware, as
DOSEMU simulates parts of the memory management. Of course
this means that the DOSEMU drivers need very little RAM.
The HIMEM from Windows 3.x is probably also less optimized
(but indeed probably more Windows compatible) than those
versions which come with FreeDOS...
Note that HIMEM only lets you use DOS=HIGH (put kernel in
HMA) and FreeCom "XMS Swap" (let command com move to XMS
when running programs leaves not enough low RAM to keep
it there). You usually do want EMM386 - or UMBPCI - if
you have big drivers and want to move them to UMB. Those
have no other ways of being outside your low 640k. But
as said, it helps to use less big drivers. Looking forward
to read your usage.txt and other files!
Regards, Eric
