- Hey, your program is neat! I downloaded it yesterday (i.e., last year)
- and installed it and it works fine.
- EXCEPT (of course) for one thing. My CONFIG.SYS file installs
- a memory disk program of size 180K. When switches are set for 64K, RAM
- runs out and the command interpreter never gets loaded and the AUTOEXEC
- file never gets run so MORRAM gets no chance to fix things....
- So I put a front end on your code to make it into a device
- driver. That way it gets run earlier, too. I put it first in my
- CONFIG file and that saves even more time. The only thing I had to
- change in your code was your reference to the PSP+2, which of course is
- not there at device-driver-install time; I made it a call to BIOS INT
- 12H instead and did the appropriate shifting. Works fine.
- (The only puzzling thing is that with the MORRAM code installed
- as a character device driver, the KEYSWAPPER program from
- Vertex/Rickerdata hangs the system. Strange! I may make it a block
- device, though I hate to use up a drive letter on it.....)
- If you don't object I'll put the device driver version up here
- with appropriate credit to you + mods by me. Okay by you?

- Tom: Your changes sound good. However, please credit Dan O'Brien who is
- the author. I only uploaded it here because it was a useful program. I
- will pass along your copy to Dan. Wes

- Okay, Wes. By the way, the problem I mentioned in parentheses
- (concerning my Vertex/Rickerdata KEYSWAPPER program not working) had
- nothing to do with MORRAM; the villain is BUF128, which changes several
- interrupt vectors without regard for what they were before.
- I would like to put this program up on some other bulletin
- boards I frequent. I gather that is not a problem -- it seems to be
- public domain, right? thanks, tom
