I bought myself a CD-ROM today. No one was more surprised than I at how easy the gadget was to install. Then came the software installation. Again, no problem. At the end of the process, still with no glitches, I typed "MEM/C", just to see how much damage had been done. I almost fell off of my chair when I saw my available memory go from 612K down (WAY down) to about 520K. Is this normal?! If it is, has anyone figured a way around it? I'm using 386Max v.6 and it sure hasn't helped. Regards, Steve.
