In this case UMB is available? I understand that the answer is yes, but it is not clearly stated in the above paragraph.
Dotting the i's and crossing the t's as the saying goes. But anyway, NOEMS leaves UMB available.
Even it the implementation is stupid, IMHO the inportant fact of this option is liberating 64k on UMB :)
Or FRAME=NONE for easyWindow, since it doesn't like the device driver name changing done by NOEMS option.
