I've finally got hold of the old PC and I am trying to get it to run privateer. I've determined that nothing seems to be using the memory block from D000-DFFF and with the current boot disk there is 582K free base RAM. 1. If I boot into a DOS Win98 environment can it work? Or do I have to try to get it working using a DOS 6.22 boot disk? I've sysed the hard drive using a Win98 startup disk, and copied the tools and utilities from the startup disk. So the drive doesn't have a full install of Win98. 2. Is 582K enough base RAM? I am getting an error message from privateer when it tries to start which seems to indicate that it wants more base memory. Here's the Autoexec and config files I am using. Rob CONFIG.SYS: ================= DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS DEVICE=C:\EMM386.EXE 8192 RAM I=D000-DFFF FILES=30 BUFFERS=20 DOS=High,UMB DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:banana LASTDRIVE=Z ================= AUTOEXEC.BAT: ================= MSCDEX.EXE /D:banana /L:D path=c:\;c:\dos cd privater =================
