• Uwe Sieber's UMBPCI.SYS v3.81 16-bit 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, Windows 3.xx/95/98/ME, 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 208 Bytes of conventional RAM and allows up to 629 KB of free low
DOS memory.
Go to:
• Uwe Sieber's UMBPCI.SYS English page.
• Uwe Sieber's UMBPCI.SYS German page.
• My Complete UMBPCI.SYS
Guide.
TIPS:
• You can load HIMEM.SYS in upper memory by using HIRAM.EXE v1.9 [74 KB, freeware] in combination with UMBPCI.SYS.
• UMBPCI.SYS is IDEAL for using FastVid v1.10 PCI/AGP DOS video accelerator [239 KB, freeware], ONLY IF you own a Pentium Pro/II/III/IV class CPU!
