We are trying to use PCNFS with QEMM and have had limited success. As per
instructions from SUN, we only tried to relocate the files that we were
told to and that worked. The only problem is PCNFS.SYS would not fit into
any of the regions that QEMM found. This machine has 4MB of extended memory
and 4MB of expanded memory. Is there any way to get PCNFS.SYS to live in
either extended or expanded memory?
If you are using PCNFS with a dos extender, could you send me your
configuration?

Usually the culprit for causing smaller chunks of high memory is disk controllers with ROMs at c800:0000. My configuration has a disk controller with ROM off somewhere else. Sometimes QEMM doesn't see the ST01 BIOS and chokes because of that (it's at c800:000). Run MFT and look at the 'First Meg' option. You may have to change hardware configuration to make large TSR's fit and/or specify the region. I have Banyan's 153K TSR loaded just fine. Hope when we switch to PC-NFS that I can get it to fit. How large is it? -- -----------------------------\ / ..and Apple thought GUI was theirs!.. \ bgi@SalesTech.COM 841-4169 \---| Yer local zymurgist & Amiga hacker/user | OR \ Klein bottle for sale- Inquire within / brad@slammer.UUCP 925-9663 Brad Isley, Sales Technologies, Inc.

QEMM only puts drivers into High RAM (memory between 640K and 1MB not being used by video, page frame, and ROMs). QEMM does not load drivers into expanded memory or extended memory (you should have Sun or whoever is doing PC-NFS to write drivers that can be loaded mostly in expanded or extended memory, Novell shell drivers exist that do this, rather than 40k low, its 7k low and 33k in expanded or extended memory). A few things that can help put drivers up high is to make sure that QEMM comes before any drivers that you would like to put up high. Also, trying to play with the addresses of cards that need to put ROMs in that High RAM area would be a good idea, like setting the network cards to start at c800 and forcing the EMS page frame to go from e000 to efff. Also, if you think you have mappable areas in that high RAM area, as per manual, you should add the INCLUDE parameter on the QEMM line (along with the RAM parameter to use that high RAM area for drivers that are normally loaded low).
