The CDROM works fine if I uncomment those lines (but the floppies
don't) and network shares work fine either way.
It sounds like memmaker added parameters that are loading the cdrom
driver into a memory region that conflicts with the floppy drive
controller. That wasn't an uncommon problem for third party I/O boards
and controllers that have their own BIOS and memory. Have you tried a
third party memory manager instead of memmaker such as 386MAX or QEMM?
No, because I don't have either. I'll go and ask Google where they are
tomorrow. A WDAT-240 doesn't have any memory, AFAIR, though. And it's
set to the standard floppy address (the motherboard controller is
disabled because it doesn't work very well).
