Memory Device Drivers

The following four device drivers are provided to manage the TravelMate 3000 memory:

q

EMM.SYS - device driver supports LIM-EMS Expanded memory.

q

HIMEM.SYS - device driver is an extended memory manager that
supervises the use of the computer's Extended memory so that no two
application programs can use the same memory at the same time.

q

RAMDRIVE.SYS - device driver supports RAM disks in standard,
Extended and Expanded memory.

q

SMARTDRV.SYS - device driver for use with a hard disk and
Extended or Expanded memory that supports disk-caching to speed up
reading from the hard disk.

Note: A high performance cache utility, named CACHE.COM, is furnished with your
computer as an alternative to the SMARTDRV.SYS device driver. See your BatteryPro
& Productivity Software User's Manual
for details on CACHE.COM.

Installing Device Drivers

To install a driver, add a DEVICE command line to your CONFIG.SYS file using MS-
DOS EDLIN or a word processor that saves text files in ASCII format.

DEVICE = C:\DOS\XXXXXXXX.SYS [options]

You must then restart the computer to load the new CONFIG.SYS settings and activate
the driver(s).
