Hello, everyone.  I have an F1 simulator from Accolade, and the good old Flight Simulaor,
both of which need a big chunk of the 640K base memory to run.  The problem is with the sound
card and CD-ROM and othere kinds of drivers, I can hardly free up enough memory for these
wonderful games.  I tried DOS memmaker, but is still 40K short of the 570K required.  Any
suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

        Try making a boot disk, and only put the drivers you ABSOLUTELY
NEED in the CONFIG.SYS file, and load them high.  After all, if you're running
the original Flight Simulator, I don't think you need a CD-ROM driver loaded.
Make sure you also have the line DOS=HIGH in your CONFIG file.  Memmaker
is a joke, because all it does it rearrange your config file; it doesn't
remove any of the drivers.
