Thanks for your feedback. I have checked and found the m/c is hanging
after loading the HIMEM with the option /METHOD:ALWAYSON.
However I am checking further and update you the progress.


That would suggest the machine does not always have the A20 line on.  Are 
you sure you need to specify a METHOD rather than have it auto-detect?  If 
so, there are only a few METHOD's available to test, so it shouldn't take 
much time trying them all in turn.

Can we load Himem.EXE w/o using gate A20 method. If so, whats the himem
loading syntax in config.sys


Assuming you are asking what you appear to be asking, the HIMEM option 
/METHOD: will allow you to force the exact A20 method you want to 
use.  /METHOD:ALWAYSON effectively relinquishes HIMEM's control of the A20 
line by assuming the computer always leaves A20 on.  If it doesn't, you're 
on your own for making things work properly.  HIMEM is fairly intelligent 
about auto-selecting the correct method anyway.
