DOS ain't dead

Memory at segment 50h available for DOS? (Developers)

posted by ecm  , Düsseldorf, Germany, 14.12.2008, 21:35

I'm currently moving some data around that has to stay in the low memory area. Is there any data between address 0h:520h and 0h:600h? (That's between segment 50h and 60h except the few items described in RBIL 61's MEMORY.LST.) Does any program use this space?

There's a large table I want to put there in one piece. It currently requires about 300 byte. When the upper 256 bytes are placed in segment 60h, it would require about 40 byte at the end of the 256-byte segment 50h.
