Using APS with DOS 6.0

When a power loss or system reboot occurs when using DOS 6.0, data on your hard
drive may become corrupt when the “write cache” option is enabled by

SMARTDRV

.

We recommend disabling the “write cache” option. Use the following configuration
to disable the “write cache” option:

SMARTDRV

If you are using DOS 6.0 with DoubleSpace, add the following line to your

AUTOEXEC.BAT

file.

SMARTDRV H

Note

The above example assumes you are using a standard computer configuration
consisting of Drives A, B, and C. Drive H is the host drive used by DoubleSpace.

If your computer is configured differently, refer to your DOS 6.0 user manual for
information regarding the DoubleSpace host drive selection.

Using DOS 6.0 with DoubleSpace

If you are using a 386/486 PC with 4 meg. RAM running DOS 6.0 with
DoubleSpace (uses a combination of extended and expanded memory), we
recommend using the following

CONFIG.SYS

:

DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /NUMHANDLES=128
DOS=HIGH,UMB

DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE FRAME=NONE
DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS

FILES=40
BUFFERS=40

DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\DBLSPACE.SYS /MOVE

Note

If running in a Windows environment, set the

FILES

parameter to 46 or higher

Example

CONFIG.SYS

file for extended (XMS) memory only:

DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /NUMHANDLES=128

DEVICE=C:\DOS\DBLSPACE.SYS /MOVE
FILES=40

BUFFERS=40
