Re: [Freedos-user] put drivers in XMS
Hello, 2008/6/3 Eric Auer [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi Robert, I remember some old driver in protected mode and cloaking related stuff from the old days but only few drivers did support it afair? So I would suggest that we just take our new open source drivers and turn those which really need a lot of RAM into JLM modules for JEMM386. The interface is a bit like DLL and DPMI, you can for example hook any DOS interrupt and let the handler reside outside the first megabyte :-). Typical candidates would be DOSLFN, SHSUCDX, SHARE, DISPLAY, but the latter is a bit tricky as it does have to show the font data in DOS-accessible RAM sometimes. In most times: every time someone calls the video mode change function at int 10h. You could actually hook the call, and before going into it then: alloc somewhere 12Kb of memory (from DOS?), then use XMS functions to recall data back, and finally do the usual DISPLAY stuff... but looks like quite prone to failures to me.

[Freedos-user] put drivers in XMS
It's possible under freedos 1.0 put the drivers in XMS insted UMB? Can be used cloaking.exe , and in wich modality? many thanks in advance.

Typical candidates would be DOSLFN, SHSUCDX, SHARE, DISPLAY, but the latter is a bit tricky as it does have to show the font data in DOS-accessible RAM sometimes. DOS memory usage now: biggest cdrom and harddisk caches up to 29+17 kB, DOSLFN 13 kB, DISPLAY 12 kB, SHARE 9 kB, SHSUCDX 6 kB Note that you typically have much smaller caches than the max possible size and that you can use Jack's UIDE driver with UDMA and SATA harddisk and cdrom support and some caching functions which probably uses somewhat less DOS RAM.

I had some time ago a similar suggestion. Loading into EMS/XMS would be a bad idea because more outdated applications use EMS/XMS. But the idea to load drivers into high memory in general is great. It`s possible for a very rare collection of drivers already. Such drivers are called Jemm Loadable Modules, see http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0503736/php/drdoswiki/index.php?n=Main.MemoryManagers Unfortunately it`s not possible to load just any existing driver into high memory. No one has the knowledge and the motivation to write such an converter. Many old drivers are closed source, abandoned or have less motivated developers. Otherwise them would have been converted into Jemm Loadable Modules already. -mr - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
