Brian,
After a rather lengthy phone con with QEMM tech support that addressed a number
of other issues, it boiled down to this, with QEMM 7.5 I just added the switch:
UR=1M-128M
to the end of my QEMM386.SYS line without using SCANMEM, the above switch
accessed all of my available memory (I actually only have 80MB) but still, 3D
Studio loaded and the status window showed all 80 megs available. On top of
that, I added a 1 gig drive D: and sent all my swap files to specific swap
directories (D:\3DSWAP and D:\ACADSWAP)
Rendering speed was reduced to one tenth. On smaller mesh files, the hard
drive light never even flickers until save time.
Thanks for your response, I hope this is helpful to others.
