REM CONFIG.SYS 8-1-91  DR DOS 5.0 + DESQVIEW 386
REM -----------------------------------
REM INSTALL QUARTERDECK EXTENDED MEMORY MANAGER
REM
DEVICE=C:\QEMM\QEMM386.SYS RAM ROM MA=10 X=C000-C7FF TA=30 I=F100-F33F DMA=64
REM
REM -----------------------------------
REM Explaination:
REM *************
REM
REM RAM ........ This parameter allows LOADHI to put TSR's into the memory 
REM              space between 640K and 1024K
REM
REM ROM ........ This tells QEMM to copy all System ROMS to RAM (like 
REM              the "Shadow RAM" programs do on an 80286 AT PC).
REM
REM MA=10 ...... This arcane parameter sets up 10 "Maps" for use by Desqview.
REM              You should have 2 more MAPS available than the total number
REM              of programs you intend to run at the same time. Each MAP
REM              costs you 4K of memory (4096 bytes).
REM 
REM X=C000-C7FF  This command tells QEMM to eXclude the memory address' 
REM              of my VGA ROM BIOS chip from High Memory.  On my machine
REM              QEMM doesn't `see' my VGA BIOS, and attempts to store
REM              programs there.  Not Good.  The PC will lock up.
REM              This is Probably Not Needed on your Machine!
REM
REM TA=30 ...... Tells QEMM the maximum number of Windows you will open.
REM              TA = The number of TASKS.
REM
REM I=F100-F33F  Manifest discovered that this small piece of high memory
REM              wasn't being used by QEMM, and recommended that I tell
REM              QEMM that it is OK to use this memory.
REM
REM DMA=64 ..... This is required to support any hardware that does DMA
REM              (Direct Memory Access) data transfers.  SCSI devices and
REM              Music cards are examples of these.
REM
REM -----------------------------------
REM Load DR-DOS 5.0 into high memory.  It is important to always put this
REM line immeadiately following your memory manager!  MS-DOS 5.0 can do
REM this too.
REM
DEVICE=C:\DRDOS\HIDOS.SYS
REM
REM -----------------------------------
REM Now tell DR-DOS to load COMMAND.COM into high memory as well.
REM
HIDOS=ON 
REM
REM -----------------------------------
REM * DR DOS DEVICE DRIVERS *
REM These are the first TSR utility programs.  Thier order is not usually
REM critical.
REM -----------------------------------
REM Load the ANSI.SYS screen driver for ANSI support.  You only really need
REM this if you call bulletin boards on your modem.  Omit this otherwise.
REM
DEVICE=C:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS C:\DRDOS\ANSI.SYS
REM
REM -----------------------------------
REM Now I create a 1 megabyte RAM disk.  You may change the size of the ram 
REM disk to whatever size you wish by changing the 1024 number to whatever
REM size disk you desire.  The /E parameter on this particular program tells
REM
REM VDISK.SYS to create the ram drive in Extended memory.
REM 
REM -----------------------------------
REM The QEMM utility LOADHI puts the ram disk program into high memory, saving
REM DOS memory.
REM
DEVICE=C:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS C:\DRDOS\VDISK.SYS 1024 128 128 /E
REM
REM -----------------------------------
REM I now create a 1 meg disk cache in high memory using LOADHI.  The cached
REM data is stored in Extended memory (the /E parameter again).
REM
DEVICE=C:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS C:\DRDOS\CACHE.EXE /S=1048 /E
REM
REM -----------------------------------
REM The Logitech Mouse driver is also loaded into hi memory.  Note that I have
REM not even touched the main 640K of DOS memory yet!
REM
DEVICE=C:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS c:\mouse\mouse.sys
REM
REM -----------------------------------
REM I run a BBS, and this is required to speed it up.  This command in DR-DOS
REM takes up so little memory, it's not worth LOADHI.
REM
FASTOPEN =128
REM
REM -----------------------------------
REM I have had problems loading my disk buffers high, so I bite the bullet
REM and load them into DOS memory.
REM
BUFFERS=10
REM
REM -----------------------------------
REM Ditto for the FILES command.  Normal system should use FILES=20 or 30
REM as 50 is excessive for the vast majority of non BBS or server PC's
REM
FILES=50
REM
REM -----------------------------------
REM I run some ancient old crusty software that bitches if I don't use the
REM old DOS 2.0 FCBS command so....
REM
FCBS=8,8
REM
REM -----------------------------------
REM This is one OF DR-DOS's most excellent capabilities: Command line
REM history.  Using the UP and Down arrows, I can scroll through the last
REM 512 bytes worth of DOS commands.  MS-DOS 5.0 can do this too.
REM
HISTORY=ON, 512, ON 
REM
REM -----------------------------------
REM Both Desqview and Windows will handle the DOS Stacks for you, so save
REM memory and tell DOS that you want No stacks at all like this:
REM
STACKS=0,0
REM
REM -----------------------------------
REM All Done!  Off to the AUTOEXEC!
