I cannot tell if the new BIOS is larger, since I haven't checked the
amount of free UMBs before the BIOS update. I moved my harddisk from my
old 486 to my new machine (K6-233) without any modifications (the same
Win95a on top of the same DOS 6.0). In my old machine, I can play DOS
games happily with many UMBs to spend. I'm just wondering if a BIOS can
consume such amount of memory.
