|    Worldgroup 2.0 Memory Limit?    |
|    06 Apr 07 09:10:53    |
      From: thorin@ptd.net              So i came into some new hardware for my board. Its currently on an old       486, with 16MB of ram. The new machine is a PIII-667, with 256MB of ram.              I had this notion that i would install a bare bone linux install, and       vmware. Then install dos, and copy my board into the VM.              So I set the whole thing up, and installed a new copy of WG2 into the vm       to test it out before i go live with it.              Well, it seems that the software just doesnt like more than 16MB of ram.        If i turn the memory in the VM up to anything higher, the board       crashes when i try to launch the board. The "Phar Lap's dos extender"       box pops up, tells me how much memory there is, and then throws some       memory addresses below it, and hangs.              So is this just becasue i'm running in vmware? Or does the board not       like tons of memory?              Thanks.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
