Understanding the Installation B-7

The CONFIG.SYS File Settings

If you choose to install the low-level DOS device drivers under custom
installation, the installation program also adds the following
statements to the CONFIG.SYS file:

DEVICE= C:\SB16\DRV\CTSB16.SYS /UNIT=0

/BLASTER=A:220 I:5 D:1 H:5

DEVICE= C:\SB16\DRV\CTMMSYS.SYS

CTSB16.SYS and CTMMSYS.SYS are low-level device drivers that
provide wave playback and recording for DOS applications. These
applications include third-party DOS applications developed with
Creative Labs’ Sound Blaster Developer Kit. The applications work
with the drivers (such as CTWDSK.DRV, CTWMEM.DRV,
CTVDSK.DRV, and CT-VOICE.DRV) that require the low-level
drivers. The drivers are found in the DRV subdirectory of your audio
software directory.

See “Optimizing Memory Usage” on page 3-3 to learn how to
optimize your memory.

If your system does not have enough memory when you are using
Windows applications or playing DOS games, you can delete the
above two statements from the CONFIG.SYS file using a text editor.

At a later time, you may discover that you need the low-level device
drivers for your software application. You can load them into memory
by typing DIAGNOSE /A at the DOS prompt and pressing <Enter>.
This command adds the required statements to the CONFIG.SYS file.
