Installing Device Drivers

CONFIG.SYS
file similar to the following, using the
MS-DOS EDIT
utility or a word processor that saves text files in
ASCII
format:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\XXXXXXXX.XXX [options]
Where
XXXXXXXX.XXX
is the name of the device driver, for
example,
HIMEM.SYS
. You must then restart the computer to
load the new
