Using APS with DOS 5.0
Recommended CONFIG.SYS for 386/486 PCs with 4 meg. RAM running DOS 5.0
(uses a combination of extended and expanded memory):
Note If running in a W
indows envir onment:
• load SHARE.EXE and INTERCHANGE drivers prior to loading MS Windows.
• set the FILES parameter to 46 or higher
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /NUMHANDLES=128
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS
FILES=40
BUFFERS=40
DEVICE=C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.SYS
Note The
executable EMM386.EXE does not automatically exclude the memory used by
PC expansion car ds. You must exclude the memory used by all of the PC expansion
car ds by adding an exclusion option to the memory manager invoke line.
For example, the memory manager invoke line would appear as follows when using
a 1784-KT Communication Interface module set up to use addr ess range D400 to
DFFF:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE 1024 x=D400-DFFF FRAME=NONE
See the user manual pr ovided with each expansion car d for mor e information.
Example CONFIG.SYS file for expanded memory only:
FILES=40
BUFFERS=40
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /NUMHANDLES=128
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE FRAME=NONE
Example CONFIG.SYS file for extended (XMS) memory only:
FILES=40
BUFFERS=40
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /NUMHANDLES=128
