I have a 386 machine with the "neat" chips set. IT seems that the only way
to use the "reserved" (384K) of memory above the 640K (out of 1M ram) is
as bios shadow and/or as ram in locations C800:000 to F000:0000 (160K).

I know that many people have "ram holes" unused in these locations. The only
use for it I could find in simtel20 is a program called ADJREM which creates
a ram disk from this memory.

I think it should be easy to make dos believe it has memory up to F000:0,
then "allocate" it all up to C800:0 and then load tsrs, and free the memory
upto 640K. Does anyone have a program to do that? can it really be done?

Email or post, I will summarize results (if any! my last request was on the
paradize vga plus 16 card was completely ignored ...).

Thanks for your time
