Thanks - have it now.

I had always been downloading from GitHub using the "BIG GREEN Code Button" always clearly visible at the top section even when viewing the web page is heavily cropped by me to have many windows simultaneously visible. I suppose the not so obvious/inviting "Releases" has been always there.


So to summarize:

In sequence I created

~1.4 GB FAT32 RAMdrive in XMS G:\
~ 24 GB FAT32 RAMdrive in SXMS H:\
~ 4 GB FAT16 RAMdrive in SXMS J:\
~2.5 GB FAT16 RAMdrive in XMS I:\ (or so I thought)


With the goal of trying to establish RAMdrive addresses in the 32 GB system I used XMSCC

Blocks 1, 2 and 3 match with G:\, H:\, and J:\ BUT I:\ is not shown.

Can I use the 32-bit base address (pity it was not shown in HEX) as the boundaries of the RAMdrives (at least where the actual files go)?



Also I tried XMStat, getting

and this does show my I:\ as the last entry.



Lastly, I tied XMSStat, getting

[image]

and this does show my I:\ as the last entry. However in the region section (of I:\) it goes from a larger value to a smaller value (opposite effect compared to all other entries).


So are there bugs in XMSCC and XMSSTAT regarding my I:\ RAMdrive ?


So, I now do not know if my I:\ RAMdrive (~2.5 GB) is in the XMS or not - hence why I wanted a RAM map showing where (and ranges) things such as RAMdrives are.
