Configuring ROM-DOS 3-1
CONFIGURING ROM-DOS
Basic Configuration
Certain standard settings for your system’s operation can be stored in a
file named CONFIG.SYS. You may create or edit your own CONFIG.SYS
file using a word processor or the COPY CON command.
You must place the CONFIG.SYS file in the root directory of the drive that
is used for system startup or boot. If a CONFIG.SYS file is not found, the
following default values are used for the following commands:
BREAK = OFF
BUFFERS = 15
COUNTRY = 001
FCBS = 4
FILES = 8
NUMLOCK = ON
SHELL = COMMAND.COM /P /E:128
STACKS = 0,0
Example
A typical CONFIG.SYS file might look like this.
BREAK = ON
FILES = 15
BUFFERS = 15
DEVICE = C:\ROMDOS\HIMEM.SYS
Using Multiple-User Configurations
Your CONFIG.SYS file can be used to define multiple system
configurations. This is handy when several people share a computer and
require different working environments. It is also useful for booting your
own computer using different device drivers, paths, or settings,
depending on the intended computer tasks.
