> - they need an XMS block with a physical address below 0x400000.

Yes, the need of free memory block bellow 0x400000 is a problem because I use a disk cache and various TSRs and this memory is normally occupied.
So I use this trick.
In CONFIG.SYS:
device=tdsk.exe 8192
...disk cache driver...

In AUTOEXEC.BAT:
tdsk.exe 0 join f: c:\freedos\join_f

TDSK.EXE is a resizable ramdisk Turbo Disk.
It works perfectly but it is a bit complicated. Does exist some more elegant solution?
