Why would you want NOEMS and RAM on the same Emm386 line? they both do
opposite things...Besides that would STILL not do ANYTHING to alleviate
the particular problem he is experiencing.

If you want more HI memory, add this to the very end of the line.  

I=B000-B7FF

(those are zeros not letter "o"'s)

That will open up a portion of memory normally reserved for monochrome
monitors and release it to high memory...
that should help
