 630K! I am surprised! I have been running Win95 preview program release too.
 But all I could squeeze out of my DOS session is 611K free memory. Here are
 the mem /c listing :

  Name           Total           Conventional       Upper Memory

 As you can see, the "WIN", "vmm32", "COMMAND" driver has taken out huge
 chunks of my memory. I would very much like to get rid of them if
 possible. What is your secret to get that much memory?

 The other driver I would like to remove is the CMD640X driver. Without
 this real mode driver (for disk controller) installed, Win95 complained
 that the disk controller has both 32-bits and 16-bits devices attached
 and refused to run in "normal" mode. The disk controller I have is a
 CMD CSA-6400E. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Is this a
 bug in Win95 or I am plain stuck until I changed my disk controller?
