Run Memmaker (DOS) or Optimize (QRAM/QEMM)? Is Dblspace a device
driver or program? The former get loaded via config.sys.

I've never trusted such software solutions. With MFM drives, I used
Perstor controllers to nearly double effective available space; and
IDE drives are inexpensive enough there's no reason not to have all
the space you need. (After a $100 rebate, CompUSA was selling a 1.2
gig Maxtor recently for about what my first used 20 meg MFM cost me.)
