Hi Roberto,
good to hear that switches=/e fixed your problem. This setting
tells the kernel not to move the EBDA (similar to MS EMM386 NOMOVEXBDA
setting). We found that moving the EBDA often has unwanted side effects,
although it is really interesting to hear that it broke the combination
LBAcache / compiler this time.
This problem does not occur in older models of Advantech, may be is a
special case.
lbacache FLOP
This will - because you give no BUF number argument - use the default
size of 2 MB cache. If you want for example 3 MB, use
lbacache BUF 12 FLOP
I try with BUF 40, works fine and cuts compilation time in half,
amazing!.
XMS allocated 10.00 MB, driver size with tables and stack: 15147 bytes.
You use DOS=UMB and DOSDATA=UMB, but I see that you do not load UMBPCI
or EMM386, so I guess you have no UMBs at all (EMM386 is the driver for
UMB and EMS - if you load UMBPCI instead, you get only UMB) and the
DOS=UMB / ... settings have no effect.
I need to learn more about freedos, thanks for your tips.
Many years out of DOS.

Sorry is Tillamook-MMX
Strange CPU unless you meant Intel Pentium III Tilla-something... Is it
an embedded one? 266 MHz are more than enough for DOS. You seem to have
a relatively small harddisk (C*8*32 geometry). Award BIOS 4.51 often has
problems with disks 32 GB, so if you want to upgrade... 64 MB RAM are
fine for DOS, too. More than that. You can even use not-too-new Windows
and Linux on such a system.
It is an industrial computer, an ISA backplane, all-in-one computer in
an ISA card. Small size, very rugged case, no fans in the motherboard,
hard watchdog,very fast boot, supports VGA/LCD. The disk is a removable
solid state SanDisk 64 Mb.
It runs a program that controls a machine for fruit processing with two
custom-made ISA cards to interface. Memory Mapped I/O and interrupts.
Back to LBAcache: I hope to find the time to create a slightly more user
friendly version in the next days (new STAT screen, easier to read than
the INFO screen, and some other smaller changes). Stay tuned.
Thanks for your excelent work and support.
