A.3 DOS/4G Error Messages
DOS/4G errors are more common than kernel errors when using DOS/4G or
DOS/4GW with the TMS470R1x code generation tools. They are usually re-
lated to an unknown path name, corrupt files, or memory problems. Memory
problems can include inadequate memory, poor configuration, or corrupted
memory.

DOS/4G could not lock the kernel in physical memory, prob-
ably because of a memory shortage.

Free some memory for the DOS/4G application.
1005 ”not enough memory for dispatcher data”

installed interrupt handlers properly.

ably does not exist. It is possible that DOS ran out of file han-
dles or that a network or similar utility has prohibited read ac-
cess to the program.
