Hey thanks for the help and the info. I tried before with DEVICEHIGH...
I liked to read the Wikipedia article but I don't understand the hex numbers and how to identify the different ranges. I think I need to specify something in emm386 with the x or i parameters. I guess I need somebody to tell me which values should I set for x and i based on the info of usbmass.exe I posted before:
/io:n start address of I/O pool (default 0x00002000)
/M:n start address of memory pool (default 0x000D0000)
This is the info of mem:
