Wow. I'm beginning to wonder if maybe this is some IBM conspiracy to get
people to use OS/2.
I was debugging somebody else's program on my TP750. The program was
overlaid so it'd fit in <600k of memory. Of course after compiling and
linking it it wouldn't run. I didn't know if the overlaying was the
problem, or if there was another bug in the program. Solution? I use OS/2
so I changed my DOS box setting to mono video mode. That gives DOS programs
700k or so of free memory. I compiled it without overlays and ran it (650k
RAM required to run). Decided it was a bug in the program.
OS/2 has support for my PCMCIA modem, audio, SB emulation, etc. all
installed. Those drivers just don't take any of the lower 640k needed by
DOS programs.
