And I want to help my customers to WARN them, when they have 32MB of memory, but just 16MB direct physical addressable for OS/2 as memory (the rest as swapMemory). the difference is about 2 minutes start up time (0:13sec vs 2:04 min). JdBP> DosDevIOCtl category 8 function 0x63 (query device thx, thats how i have implemented it now. (i'm checking which drives are available and then i check all drives. is this ok? since this Cat8 call is for logical drives, so i need to supply a drive id (or a drive handle). so, when i call it with handle0 and eq: 2 (for 'C') in the parameter block, what if drive C is on a SCSI drive with a driver supporting 32MB of mem, but there is a 2nd HD which only supports 16MB DMA).
