RE: OmniBook 300/425 - Freeing up conventional memory
Small update: I can confirm that yanking the batteries and doing a completely cold boot seems to reset the option set by OBBOOT.COM, so you can recover from making your system non-bootable. Likewise, don't forget to reset the boot mode if you pull power for other reasons (like experimenting with CF cards to use as the C: drive, as I was doing).

Also, if you un-rem EMM386 in config.sys, you'll get an extra 60 KB UMB to devicehigh/loadhigh stuff into, but Windows won't run in standard mode with EMM386 active. Handy if you're not using Windows, or if you've installed everything needed to run it in 386-enhanced mode, though.
