I know for a fact that it WILL work :)
- M95D 3y agoBadly. Because (1) CPU and (2) dblspace.bin takes ~70K of conventional memory. IIRC, on a 286 it can't be loaded high, or at least not with EMM386 from back then.
- baal80spam 3y agoTrue, but if you just want that extra space it does its job. It made my 40MB hard drive store ~70MB of data which was a godsend back in the day!
- fsiefken 3y agoAppearently QEMM QRAM can do it on 286 https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=71533 https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=71533
- Sesse__ 3y agoI ran DriveSpace on an 8088. For several years. Was too young to notice the slowness, I guess.
