  • Win98SE alt. boot floppy to test a XMS manager

    From Harry Potter@21:1/5 to All on Sun May 2 16:32:08 2021
    Hi! I just downloaded a DOS memory manager from the internet called JEMM and want to test it out on a Win98SE computer via a DOS boot-up floppy. I want the floppy to start from the floppy but then boot to Windows and allow me to remove the floppy and
    use it for other purposes. I can format the floppy. What files do I need to put on the floppy? BTW, I use DriveSpace.

    Never mind. I tried it for a special DOS setup to network to a DOS laptop to act as a hard drive, and it didn't work well. I will scrap JEMM.

    Wrong newsgroup. Again.
