SUMMARY
=======
The following information was taken from the Microsoft MS-DOS 5 README.TXT file.
This is the packaged product of MS-DOS version 5.0 that is licensed to OEMs
(original equipment manufacturers).
NOTES ON MEMORY MANAGEMENT
--------------------------
4.1 Problems Loading into the Upper Memory Area
-----------------------------------------------
Some computers with hard disk controllers, specifically bus master DMA
controllers, may not be able to load device drivers or programs into the upper
memory area. Try adding a "DEVICE=SMARTDRV.SYS" (without the quotation marks)
command before any DEVICEHIGH commands in your CONFIG.SYS file.
4.2 Intel Expanded-Memory Driver (EMM.SYS)
------------------------------------------
Use the Intel expanded-memory driver NE or E switch when installing the driver
for Above Board. See your Above Board documentation for more information.
4.3 Phoenix BIOS and HIMEM.SYS
------------------------------
If your system includes a Phoenix BIOS and MS-DOS 5.0 doesn't work correctly, try
adding a "/machine:1" (without the quotation marks) or "/machine:8" (without the
quotation marks) switch to the DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS command in your CONFIG.SYS file.
