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.
For more information on this subject, query on the following words:
MS-DOS and 5.0 and buffers and high and memory and area
