Notes About Using EMM386.EXE ============================ When running applications with EMM386.EXE installed, the following error message may appear: "EMM386 DMA buffer is too small" You can overcome this problem in two ways: - remove the EMM386.EXE entry from the CONFIG.SYS file OR - add the following parameter to the EMM386.EXE entry in the CONFIG.SYS file: D=64 where D specifies how many kilobytes of memory should be reserved for buffered Direct Memory Access (DMA).
