- STAY SAFE: Scan for viruses ALL files downloaded from the Internet!
- ORIGINAL Operating System/software/hardware REQUIRED for installing ANY
upgrades/patches/fixes/drivers!

* Uwe Sieber's UMBPCI.SYS v3.39a [30 KB, freeware, English]:
http://www.uwe-sieber.de/files/umbpci_e.zip
is the best FREEware DOS upper memory driver. Provides access to the Upper
Memory Area (UMA) for loading devices/drivers/TSRs "high", using HIMEM.SYS
extended memory manager, on Intel, FIC VIA, SiS and ALI PCI/AGP chipsets.
Supports Intel Pentium/Pro/II/III/IV, AMD and Cyrix CPUs, in MS-DOS 5.00/6.xx,
MS Windows 9x/ME/3.1x, DR-DOS, Open DOS and Novell DOS, WITHOUT the need for
an extended/expanded DOS memory manager, like Microsoft EMM386.EXE,
Quarterdeck QEMM, Helix NetRoom RM386, Qualitas 386MAX, Lineo DR-DOS EMM386
etc.
Add a DEVICE line for UMBPCI.SYS in Config.sys, AFTER the HIMEM.SYS line, and
use DEVICEHIGH (in Config.sys) and LOADHIGH (in Autoexec.bat) to load ALL
devices/drivers/TSRs high properly!
Takes only 240 Bytes of conventional RAM and allows up to 629 KB of free low
DOS memory.
