I had some success with SMARTDRV and XMS drive (I changed the order when the SMARTDRV is installed - NOW BEFORE any RAM drives being created).


HOWEVER, with SMARTDRV and SXMS FAT16 drive, I get the error


Invalid Drive J: (J: my chosen name)


without SMARTDRV, the exact same creation of J:\ of a SXMS FAT16 is no problem (done it a hundred times).

Below is the relevant FDAUTO.BAT code which does not seem to work for me to create a SXMS FAT16 RAMdrive 4G,


devload himemSX.exe
SMARTDRV C D E 8192 1024 1024
SHSURDRV.exe 4094M,J:

which would otherwise given me a 4G SXMS FAT16 drive and a SMARTDRV of 8M
