I'd like to see a memory manager which can run under OS/2 (and WARP).

I'm very disappointed when I can't load SB16 ASP sound drivers and set sound or
speech volume for Ultima 7 Serpent Isle CD-ROM version (because lack of
conventional memory -your memory manager is incompatible with emm386 or
anything else.) My sound card is connected to external stereo amplifier, but I
have to adjust amplifier volume almost to maximum if I want to hear anything
(another improvement - could volume be adjusted during the game)
It would be nice to be able load smartdrive to improve loading and game speed,
too.

Have you realized how many of us have a SVGA graphics card today? I'm going
to buy all your games which support 640x480x256 graphics ( or 800x600x256 or
more colours - up to 24 bit modes). I don't think the speed would be a big
problem - most of us have at least 486/66, and with clever programming you can do
allmost anything with this kind of machine (and surely Ultima 7-style games).
