Master of Magic Frequently Asked Questions October, 1996 Q:Why does the game say I do not have enough conventional memory ? A:Master of Magic requires 590 K of conventional memory. If you do not have enough conventional memory it is because you are loading too many programs which use memory below 640K. Programs which use this memory include Smartdrive. CD-ROM drivers and Disk compression. The solution to this is problem is to remove programs which use this memory or load them high. This can be done by creating a boot disk, by modifying your existing CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT Q:Why does the game say I don't have any EMS memory ?
