- Only use this if you are loading an EMM driver for something else.
- If you do not need EMM, you can save yourself enough HI MEM to put MSCDEX in
- by not reserving upper mem for the page frame. At least with dos 5 and
- EMM386.EXE you can save yourself 64K chunk of UMB by not having a page
- frame, i.e. DEVICE=EMM386.EXE /I=E000-EFFF /NOEMS .
