Hello freedos,
I've installed FreeDOS 1.3 on a Dell Inspiron 1150, A Windows XP-era laptop. This laptop has an Intel Celeron 2.6 GHZ CPU, and it had 256 MB of RAM when I pulled it out of a bin at the landfill.
The laptop will run FreeDOS in safe mode, but it will not run JEMMEX with no EMS, JEMMEX, or JEMM386. It will only run in safe mode or emergency mode. I upgraded the RAM to 256 MB, this made no difference.
For now, I'm able to run most of the DOS games, and I can use Vim, that's all I really care about. I just wanted to ask if this is normal functionality, or if something is not working right.
