DOS ain't dead

I need to INCLUDE the following:

CD00-CFFF
D200-DFFF
E500-E5FF

And EXCLUDE everything else.

Do I have to exclude the other reigons?

Can I use a blanket exclusion of everything
and then include just what I need?

What should my E= and I= statments be?

Thanks, Steve ...

No. Exclusion has higher precedence than inclusion.

It's "X=", not "E=".

Is it permissable to X= the whole UMB area
and then re I= only the areas I want?

Would your software accept it this way?

What's happening is that on ONE PARTICULAR PC,
this system get's hung in c.sys INSIDE JEMMEX
and it's dead at this point.

UMBPCI+LOWDMA work just fine.
The reigions I mentioned were those
reported by UMBPCI.

I would appreciate suggestions to troubleshoot
this problem.

I already answered this question in my previous post: No. Exclusion has higher precedence than inclusion.. IOW: After a region has been excluded, it can't be included anymore.

Download latest jemm and run tool MEMSTAT. It will tell what address range the BIOS truly needs.
