himemx v3.35 (Announce)

Hello,

recently himemx v3.34 was released, adding support for "multi-block" extended memory.

This is cool and fine and works like a charm - mostly.

Because Jemm386, which requires an installed XMM to load, may complain that its extended memory block is beyond the 16 MB barrier. This is (or better: may be) a problem when it has to intercept ISA DMA, using its DMA buffer.

Well, the problem is minor, since ISA DMA is hardly used anymore on machines with scattered extended memory.

Nevertheless, I updated HimemX to v3.35. It also includes 2 fixes that improve compatibility with MS Himem.
