my last machine only had 4KB UMB space or so..

2) on NEW HW it works fine. In modern machines (mostly from PCI and

If you are using RAM without any parameters, EMM386 should not behave
any differently than if it didn't exist. Standard UMB area scan
occurs whether RAM is there or not. Only the optional range with RAM
makes a difference, changing the default scan area size. And if

I am 99.9% sure thar without RAM there is no UMB. I will check it tomorow.

I have been able to include 4KB blocks of all-zeroes or all-FF's in VMware.
X=TEST only picks the all-FF's (Free, available).
Autoscan also picks the 'all-zeroes'

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the quick response!
If I try to load SBINIT.COM before EMM386 I get the following error:
pci aduio driver requires emm386 or similar.
Note: devload will not load SBINIT.COM in config.sys.
I think this means that the driver wants to get some RAM pages in the
