CONFIG.SYS
Purpose
Loads an installable device driver into the upper memory area if
available.
Syntax
DEVICEHIGH = device_driver arguments
Remarks
A device driver allows ROM-DOS to access hardware that is not
common in all PC's. A device can be loaded into the upper memory
areas if they are available and there is enough free upper memory to
accommodate the driver’s needs. To make high memory available, the
EMM386.EXE and HIMEM.SYS utilities must be loaded. If these
utilities are not loaded or there is not enough upper memory available,
the device loads into conventional memory.
The full drive path and file name of the device must be specified. The
arguments are different depending on the device driver.
Examples
DEVICEHIGH=c:\BIN\MYDEVICE.SYS /20 /M
Installs a driver called MYDEVICE with its command line arguments as
specified. The device loads into upper memory if available.
