Gayle, I'm puzzled why you are using HIDOS.SYS. EMM386.SYS will work with the 386 BB more effectively than HIDOS.SYS. Further, if you use EMM386.SYS and need to have expanded memory, it will allocate it. /B=FFFF DOES work, because that's what I use, so I know it works. What hard drive controller are you using that is causing you a problem? Perhaps you need to change the interrupt level or port so you don't conflict with one used by the BB. There's a chart in the BB manual which lists the interrupts and ports used by the BB.
