fdxms
Extended memory driver for FreeDOS.
DEVICE=drive:path\fdxms.sys [options]
Options
NUMHANDLES=
Sets the number of XMS handles. Default is 32. Minimum
is two (not much use of XMS without any handles!) and
maximum is currently 1024. Each handle takes 5 bytes
(FDXMS.SYS) or 9 bytes (FDXXMS.SYS).
BIOS
Makes FDXMS to always call the BIOS through INT15
instead of using its own protected mode switching.
PS
Changes to the particular A20 handling necessary on
PS/2 machines.
GEODE
Removes delays while changing the A20 line. Reported
to help FDXMS to work on National Semiconductor's
Geode GX1 processor.
DELAY=
Number of calls to the delay routine after changing
the A20 line. If you receive the error message "Unable
to switch A20 address line", try setting it to a big
value (say 4000) and see if it helps. Then fine tune
it as you want as low a value as possible for
speed. Default is 1. Maximum is 65535 and 0 maps to
65536.
