   Ok, has anyone made a program that will eat up a customizable chunk of conventional memory in DOS? I would like that for testing purposes, so I don't have to dick around with loading every driver & tsr I can think of, and save myself some time.

     A quick search proved to be a bit futile, since with the same key words people are usually looking to achieve the opposite of what I need. 😅

     @JoergA I actually haven't though of that. 🤔

     Not as a TSR-program, but you can use ramdisk.sys, which uses conventional memory by default.
