I am using XMS for DMA allocated via 0x0900.
In the FAQ it says that this should work even with plain HIMEM.SYS which
is one of the reasons why I decided for XMS.
In practice I find it only works with QUEMM or EMM386 loaded.
Otherwise I get Error 0xA0 (All available extended memory is allocated)
even though MEM shows plenty of XMS.

Suggestions much appreciated,
Mike
