The 640 K Barrier
This article is bringing back memories. Not just of fiddling with CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT, but fiddling with the sound card too, as was mentioned in passing. As mentioned in the article, I did indeed feel a sense of triumph when I finally got Wing Commander: Privateer to run.<p>As EMS was a kludge that sucked up high memory for its mappings, I eventually had a fancy CONFIG.SYS with different menu options for different memory setups, depending on which game I wanted to play.<p>Good times.
