One more thing to try: device=a:\emm386.exe /i=b000-b7ff the memory between b000 and b7ff isn't exactly much (32k), but maybe enough to get a full 64k block if only a few k are missing. I don't know what is in there - either bios commands for advanced text output or for monocrome graphics IIRC. Nothing very important while gaming anyhow ;) -- Better to understand a little than to misunderstand a lot. [Delete the karl after the @ to avoid my spam trap]
