DOS app in XP

[Ben Lane]

I am working on a 16 bit app developed for DOS. It
accesses memory reserved by the DOS (config.sys) command
DEVICE=C:\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D1000-DFFF (this memory is
used by a custom memory board in the PC). A customer
wants to run the app in XP. Past versions of Windows have
been unable to deal with the reserved memory but I have
heard XP may be able to mimic an environment that could
make running this application possible. Does anyone know
if this is a possibility?

So, is this custom board still installed on the XP machine?
Is it required for this application/

Yes, the custom board is still required.

Ok then you need a VDD type driver _and_ maybe also a native WinXP kernel driver.
Please read about this in the DDK documentation in MSDN.
