PS/2 Question We just acquired a PS/2 Model 80, 70 mb Hard disk, 8 Mb RAM. Though it felt like we got a real hot machine, it has been a disapointment. Running OS/2 and other misc software cut the hard disk memory down to 17 Mb. That's not the real problem. The DOS shell seems to have only 470 K of RAM. That's less than the 640K (- util etc) of RAM for a regular PC-AT. Actually, we were expecting to have a DOS shell with more than or atleast equal to 1 MB of RAM (like some Compaqs etc). Is there any way of increasing the available RAM for the DOS shell ? Specifically, I have to load INGRES-PC and run some SQL/C programs of the DOS shell. mohamed@ecs.umass.edu mohamed@umvlsi.ecs.umass.edu mohamed@sim1.ecs.umass.edu
