SUMMARY
If you upgrade from MS-DOS version 4.01 to MS-DOS 5.0 or later, you
may notice that the BUFFERS= line still has the /X parameter to load
buffers into expanded memory.
MS-DOS 5.0 or later ignores the /X parameter on the BUFFERS= line. If
MS-DOS is loaded into the high memory area (HMA), the buffers also
load high.
