Dave,
Thanks for helping!
Take a look One last time at my situation..
I have this particular 5250 emu program running on the same
machine now in OS/2 v. 3 & v. 4 , also Dos in OS/2, also PC Dos 7,
also MSDos 6.22, also Msdos 5, also DRdos 6.............
All with a bare 640k enabled no ems or extended mem..
no drivers of any type in the configs. ( THIS TRUE of THE DOSs )
The only OS I can't get this program to run in is Dos 7 from
Caldera on the Linux DosEmu, which is where I really want
it to run.
So, now with the mem at D000 free, I no longer get the error
message: UNABLE TO FIND 5250 CARD....
Now it JUST LOCKS & HANGS DOSEMU with no recovery
except to close the session.
I checked the DOS Session with mem /d
to get the read outs below..
And further down I did the same for LINUX using lsdev and sysinfo
commands..
As you can see memory D000 and port 0x368 are free
I know this is a lot to read but before I gave up I wanted you to see
I am baffled for good reason!!!!!!!
