ParallelsU856
Bit poster
Hi everybody,
I'm new to this forum as I am using Parallels 15 only for one month now. I'm not a total noob to IT things, though.
One problem I can not solve, and could not find anything about in the forum is the memory management in MS-DOS.
For a specific program I need EMS memory (not XMS). I was configuring it just normally in the config.sys like I did 30 years ago.
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM 1024
Yet, MS-DOS claims to have no EMS at all, just XMS. The "mem" command confirms: no EMS.
On start-up I get the error message:
WARNING: Unable to set page frame base address--EMS unavailable (in MS-DOS 6.22)
or
EMM386 not installed - unable to set page frame base address (in MS-DOS 7.1)
What do I do wrong?
Thanks for your help!!
