Of course it will refuse, you cannot load anything HIGH *unless*
your machine is in V86 mode, which *requires* some memory
manager like EMM386 or QEMM386.

DJGPP shouldn't have *any* problem to run in V86 mode, I use it
this way all the time. So your solution would be to use EMM386
so you could load device drivers and TSRs HIGH, and this shouldn't
give you *any* trouble whatsoever. If DJGPP won't run in that
configuration, tell us more about exactly how it fails.
