    You mean 64 DOS Boxes use about 256 MiB?
  2. dencorso
    Yes. For now, do just step 2 and stop.

    Thanks for performing the experiment I suggested! The BSoD only happens after 64 DOS Boxes, before that tnr more comported error you got is the normal result. If you install the free unofficial Xeno86's VCache, you'll be able to access more DOS Boxes, but maybe still not all the 64 teoretically possible. However, in any case, a possible source of sudden crashes from lack of memory will have been removed. Of course, you should only install it if you finde the idea interesting, even if it's easy to rremove it fully afterwards, in case you so decide.

    Let me please reformulate this question: tell us please how many DOS Boxes can you open before getting a Fata Exception 0E, and when you eventually do get it, in which VxD does it happen?

    SPLIT8MB splits the lower 8 MiB above the 1st MiB to avoid them from being taken by what exactly? I know you've documented it, but please do remind me which issue it was created to address.

    OK. Then do PM heinoganda and ask him if he can kindly compile it for x64, for you.

    You meant to say that Anvir taskmanager free caused the periodical freeze, right?
  11. dencorso
    No.
  12. dencorso
    Yes.

    Someone may even think that... then again, no amount of wishful thinking will ever make it work on XP, because, this too is... (guess what:) ontologically impossible™.

    Anyway, in practice, without the RAM Limitation Patch (and possibly some other RLoew's patches too, in case the board be relatively new), the limit is about 1.5 GiB RAM, as my list clearly shows (and, by now, I do believe the few reports of > 1.5 GiB RAM without the RAM Limitation Patch may not be really stable, at all, just undertested). The method you use, @ragnargd, is xRayeR's... It relies on the fact that HIMEMX.EXE hides the XMS memory from windows. Then again, as soon as that RAM is really used, as in filling a XMS Ramdisk, the system will "crash 'n burn", so to say. RLoew has explained it in much more detail in various of his older posts, but, in a nutshell, that's it.

    No. Of course not!

    Alex Ionescu has never been my mentor, nor did I ever say that. He is one of the mentors of the GSoC 2017, though.

    More about FPP here.
  21. dencorso
    I did. I've just edited my previous post. But you can get away with Federação Portuguesa de Patinadores, too, if you wish!
  22. dencorso
    Well, since everybody here (and all their neighbors) seem to know what "Abandonware", OEM and "VLK" (or, more properly, "VL") are, I thought (mea culpa) they ought to also know what FPP is. But, in fact, you have reminded me of one of my own cardinal rules, which, it seems, on getting older I tend to overlook more and more: "Presume Nothing!". Thanks for the wake-up call! Ooops! True. Done. Sorry!
  23. dencorso
    That's why I wrote "for FPP"...
  24. dencorso
    In the old license model, possesion of the actual media (usu. floppies) and manual(s) was proof of authenticity... nowadays having a valid key and the keycard (for FPP) have efectively replaced the media/manual(s), for most purposes, IMO.
  25. dencorso
    No. It's ilegal. And abandonware is a myth.
