#Trouble loading mscdex
5 messages in this thread
I am tryin to load mscdex in hi-ram using qemm386 and can't get it to load
here is the offending line of my autoexec.bat file
c:\qemm\loadhi /r:1 c:\cdmenu\mscdex /D:NECCD /L:E /M:10
I've tried loads of combinations – nothing works, any ideas?

John, altho' there isn't anything on loadinghi with QEMM, you might look
over LASER2.TXT in Lib #4 for some ideas; it does discuss some of the
_challenges_ of loadinghi with DOS that might trigger something for you.

John,
Mscdex doesn't like to go high. I've never managed it. One thing to
try is the /E switch, which tells MSCDEX to put its buffers in expanded
memory. This will shave a little off the required space.

John,
I don't know about QEMM, but MSCDEX doesn't mind loading high on my system.
I use 386MAX, with the following command:
386load size=23136 prgreg=2 flexframe prog=e:\ll\mscdex.exe /d:sony_001
/l:g /m:8 /e
The MSCDEX.EXE version is dated 7/23/91

I've had no problem using QEMM to load MSCDEX high if I use the /E
parameter. Are you sure you have enough memory up there to take the
program?
