DOS ain't dead

Jwasm 2.0 and 64 bit real mode (Announce)

The concept of making memory > 4 GB accessible under DOS is an exciting one! I for one welcome all future support and hope you do it soon! I have a 16 GB system and it will be interesting to finally be able to "see" all this RAM in pure DOS.

4 GB caches sound great... How to do this?

Re: RDSISK and > 4 GB. Will it not be possible to create a FAT32 ramdisk > 4 GB? Or are we strictly limited to 2 GB (4 GB with 64-kb cluster) FAT volumes? I can understand wanting to maintain compatibility with DOS 6.2, but would you consider making a souped-up seperate version of RDISK with > 4 GB support for those who use MS- "DOS" 7.1 and DR-DOS, etc?

Another big THANK YOU for all the work you have done Jack, and for your wonderful skills!
