[ I know that Chris has solved his problem, but I thought I'd respond
  anyway. ]

     Just as a data point, I'm running OEmacs on a pretty non-standard
system, and everything works fine under MSDOS & Windows: 60MHz Pentium,
Adaptec 2842 VLB SCSI controller, VLB video card, DOS 6.2, ASPI7DOS
driver, QEMM 7.03, 4DOS 4.02, PAS16 soundcard (2 DMAs & 2 IRQs used!),
and a couple other odds and ends.  MEM/C also reports about 15 drivers
and TSRs loaded, with ~624K low memory free (1K=1024, *not* 1000).

     As for OEmacs, I just haven't had the time to work on it.  There
doesn't seem to be much interest in it, and I've been buried in other
work.  The current release of GNU Emacs "supports" MSDOS, and the only
major missing feature is color face support.  If the FSF would only
support faces (I've heard that the code is done), there wouldn't be any
need for OEmacs (unless I ever finish my native Windows port of it).
