- I have run into a similer smelling problem with the CHINON drive and the
- supplied polling driver. This effects Origin and Sierra software in a rather
- bad way.
-
- First, I have not been able to make it load high (haven't tried all possible
- orders though).
-
- The second, and more annoying problem, which would net me enough low memory
- to run these things, is the it will not load below X'FF0' on DRDOS 6.0, BUT
- it will load at the top of the low memory stuff (well below FF0) on
- MessDOS 5.0.
-
- All in need is some of the lousy 18,000 and change bytes added to the
- the contiguous free memory to have a shot at running some of these things
- (like WC-II on CD).
