SYMPTOMS
If you run the MS-DOS MemMaker utility on a system with a Periscope
board, the following error message may be displayed:
SIZER: UMB's overran list buffer.
CAUSE
MemMaker detects the first 24 kilobytes (K) of protected memory used by the
Periscope board, but does not detect the last 8K. Therefore, when MemMaker
adds the x= parameter, it does not exclude a large enough range.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, add the x= switch to the device= line for
EMM386 to exclude the C800-CFFF range. For example:
device=c:\dos\emm386.exe x=c800-cfff
