On the website of the China DOS Union:

"http://zhenlove.com.cn/cndos/newdos/dosuse.htm" configure the c:\config.sys file, use the following configuration, and the available memory of DOS is close to 700K!

device=c:\windows\himem.sys/testmem:off
device=c:\windows\emm386.exe noems novcpi
device=c:\windows\ifshlp.sys

dos=high,umb,auto
stacks=12,256

Largest free upper memory block 47K ( 47,680 bytes)
Windows is resident in the high memory area.



640K conventional memory plus 80K upper memory can reach 720K.
Generally, it is no problem to keep conventional memory above 600K.

The size of the upper memory is related to the motherboard. For example, I have an 865 motherboard. No matter whether I use EMM386 or UMBPCI, and even add the /I parameter, the upper memory = 0.

Not worth mentioning, QEMM should be 635K + 150K

I like using umbpci + hiram, and can't think of anything better than this.
