[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] DOS 5.0 with <640K

ching@brahms.amd.com (Mike Ching) (06/24/91)

I have a 286 which can only map 1M of memory as 512K base and 512K extended
so I bought DOS 5.0 to get more free base memory. However the computer hangs
when DOS=HIGH is added to CONFIG.SYS and boots OK without it. Anybody have
this configuration and get it to work? Feels like I wasted some money.

Well, I got a 286 too, and also 1M memory.  But I put 640k for conventional
and 384k extended.  Everything is fine.  May be you can send me a copy of
your config.sys, or post it out.
