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 Windows environment:

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 cards. You must exclude the memory used by all of the PC expansion
cards 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 address range D400 to
DFFF:

DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE 1024 x=D400-DFFF FRAME=NONE

See the user manual provided with each expansion card for more 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
