If I have a twinhead 386 motherboard with a NEAT chipset and 4MB of
extended memory, is there any way of loading device drivers into high
mem. (eg. smartdrv, ramdrive, and mouse.sys(com)). I've been trying with
no luck for a while! Any help appreciated! Would EMM386 loaded before, do
the trick?

						Thanks.
