MEMMAKER is probably being too aggressive. You will likely have to
manually put in some EXCLUDED regions to help MEMMAKER along.

| Thanks Bill,
At the moment the CONFIG.SYS starts with the following lines:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=A000-F7FF
That looks like a big excluded region to start with. I'll try to find
out why they are using that range, and also try to make MEMMAKER less
aggressive.
Cheers

| At least it excludes the video RAM and BIOS area. There might be some
memory left in between. Best is to REM out that line and run MSD
(Microsoft Diagnostic) to find out which areas are occupied by BIOSes
and video RAM. Then fine tune the EMM386 line.

That just about excludes all of upper memory, except for 32K where
there may be some SYSTEM ROM. I agree with .3 regarding removal of the
EXCLUDE and giving MEMMAKER something to work with.

| 2951.5 | What is the DEC FR-PCX version model for a DEC VRC21-KA? | fievel.shr.dec.com::FILGATE | Bruce Filgate SHR3-2/W4 237-6452 | Sat Mar 15 1997 18:54 | 8 |

After rebuilding the system disk, I went to reset the monitor, but the
Matrox setup does not have any VRC models listed. At the moment it
it set up as a Sony Multiscan 20se. While the wire mesh in the tube
mask is Sony-like, it does not look as good as a Sony, perhaps
some Diamondtron model?

| I did some tuning on a Packard Bell and found that I
had to rem out the plug and play portion in config.sys
otherwise memmaker would fail on reboot.

| 2951.7 | It's getting better | KEEF::PETERS | | Tue Mar 25 1997 13:30 | 6 |
| Well, I did manage to trim down the excluded area, and MEMMAKER
completed. It didn't get everything into HIMEM, although in theory
there is space, so I guess more fine tuning is necessary. At least we
have progress. Thanks for all your tips.
