If you can access a copy of "The Windows Resource Kit" book (paperback)
then look up A20 in the index.
The A20 is a technical reference to the line on the CPU that allows
access to extended memory, and helps memory managers run properly. The
[386enh] section of System.ini contains a setting, A20EnableCount,
which is assigned a value
A20EnableCount=n
where n is a number in the range of 1 to 8.
You might try adding the following lines to Himem.sys
WIN /D:XSV
X=EMMExclude=A000-Efff
S=SystemROMBreakpoint=OFF
V=VirtualHDIRQ=OFF
If Windows starts up then you have IRQ and Address conflicts.

Smells like an IRQ conflict problem.

Seems like you need to tweek some BIOS settings too.
