We'd like to use Quarterdeck's expanded memory manager to put the NFS drivers in high memory. Is this possible? Has anyone managed to use something like this to make more memory available on the PC?

Just put the largest file in high mem. If you run Win30 then all apps on the network should be run in Exlusive mode.

Here's what I have in my config.sys, determined largely through trial and error. I was only able to loadhi the pcnfs.sys file. If any of the others were loaded hi, pcnfs would hang on initialization. DEVICE=C:\QEMM\QEMM386.SYS RAM FILES=30 buffers=1 stacks=0,0 shell=c:\command.com /e:350 /p device=c:\qemm\loadhi.sys /r:3 c:\tansi.sys DEVICE=C:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS /R:2 C:\NFS\PCNFS.SYS /d3 /f30 DEVICE=C:\NFS\SOCKDRV.SYS DEVICE=C:\DRIVERS\VECIE6.SYS /i2 /t2 DEVICE=C:\NFS\NFSVEC.SYS LASTDRIVE=h device=c:\qemm\loadhi.sys /r:2 C:\WIN\smartdrv.sys 2048 512 To sucessfully run optimize, you must first remove (or "REM" out) the sockdrv.sys, vecie6.sys (or whatever driver your LAN board needs), and the nfsvec.sys lines from your config.sys. After optimize completes, put those lines back in. Putting a REM in config.sys will display errors when you boot. It isn't a problem, just ignore them. I'm using QEMM 5.1, which I believe is their latest. It supports Windows 3.0.
