I recently installed DV386 (2.26) on a 386/25MHz machine with a Quadtel BIOS
and 2048k of RAM - the top meg's extended in BIOS.

DV's install seemed to work - ie DV's setup ran, and I configured it as I
wanted it - but when I added QEMM to the mix, DV locked up tighter'n a
witch's....aw, you  know....

I eliminated everything that I didn't need - no ansi.sys, etc. and moved the
video and system from shadow RAM to ROM, in an attempt to eliminate sources
of address conflict - I loaded QEMM.SYS in a variety of ways:

device=qemm.sys
device=qemm.sys RAM
etc...

QEMM loads, but no matter how I set things up, DV won't run without locking
up - what would seem to be a clear sign of conflict.

Before I spend more time twiddling with things, I thought I'd see if there's
anything the doc's have left out, or anything I might have overlooked in my
enthusiam to get the beastie working....I have Manifest, and can get
detailed information using it and QEMM's various reports, but nothing that
suggests where the conflict may be....

The O/S is PC-DOS 3.3.....

Any suggestions?
