Setting up your DOS configuration files
When you install the PC Compatibility Card software, it makes all the
necessary modifications to your DOS CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT
files. However, there may be times when you want to modify these files.
Follow these guidelines:
Editing the CONFIG.SYS file
Your CONFIG.SYS files should include the following statements:
DOS=HIGH,UMB
STACKS=9,256
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /TESTMEM:OFF
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS
LASTDRIVE=M
DEVICEHIGH=C:\APPLE\CDROM.SYS /D:CDDRVR
INSTALLHIGH=C:\APPLE\MACSHARE.COM
The first line loads DOS into high memory.
If you’re using the DOS utility EMM386 and you don’t require expanded
memory, use all the statements shown above. If you are using EMM386 and
you do require expanded memory, remove the following line:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS
and replace it with this line:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE
For more information on making the best use of memory, see the
information on memory management in the documentation for DOS or for
your memory manager.
The last two lines load the CD-ROM drive software and file-sharing software
into high memory.
