DOS ain't dead

EMS64 - EMS 4.0 simulator (Announce)

Hi, I tried EMS64 and ramdisk on my system with 4GB RAM but I can make only ~500MB RAMDISK. If I requested bigger size it failed that not enough memory. I loaded the driver via devload under MSDOS 7.1 (devload EMS64.EXE, devload SRDEMS.SYS). Does it mean that EMS64 can use really only memory beyond 4GB boundary and cannot use memory below? I don't have more RAM so I cannot try. In my case BIOS probably remapped some RAM that would be overlapped by MMIO beyond 4GB...

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
