I have a 266MHz Pentium 2 and M-Wave sound card which appears to be a Sound Blaster Pro like card and according to UniVBE, has a integrated Cirrus Logic Laguna CL-GD5465 AGP Chipset with 2MB Onboard.

Here's the Custom Autoexec.bat settings that are used for booting into DOS Mode
C:\WINDOWS\CWBMIX /M=9,9 /W=9,9 /L=1,1 /X=1 /F=9,9 /C=9,9 /I=C
SET TMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
SET TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
SET PROMPT=$p$g
SET winbootdir=C:\WINDOWS
SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4
LH C:\DRIVERS\CTMOUSE.EXE /R2
LH C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE /D:OPTICAL

And here's the custom Config.sys settings
DOS=HIGH,UMB
Device=C:\WINDOWS\Himem.Sys
device=C:\WINDOWS\cwbinit.exe /A
DEVICEHIGH=C:\DRIVERS\VIDE-CDD.SYS /D:OPTICAL

I was wondering if anyone knows how to load these DOS Drivers into Upper or Reserved memory so that I'll have more Conventional Memory for running certain games in DOS Mode that relies on lots of Conventional Memory? (And nope, none of my Windows 95 CD's have Memmaker)

The only mode I could get working is the 256 Color mode
Does anyone know what I could mess around with to get High Color mode working? (Or will I have to take out my Voodoo 2 card to put in my S3 Trio64V2)

After the HIMEM.SYS line in config.sys add:

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE RAM I=B000-B7FF FRAME=d000 I=D800-EFFF

This should give you UMBs so that LH and DEVICEHIGH will actually load stuff high. Even DOS itself will load parts of itself high that way.

Thanks for the help:)
Now I have lots of Conventional Memory now
