Using APS with DOS 6.0
When a power loss or system reboot occurs when using DOS 6.0, data on your hard
drive may become corrupt when the “write cache” option is enabled by
SMARTDRV
.
We recommend disabling the “write cache” option. Use the following configuration
to disable the “write cache” option:
SMARTDRV
If you are using DOS 6.0 with DoubleSpace, add the following line to your
AUTOEXEC.BAT
file.
SMARTDRV H
Note
The above example assumes you are using a standard computer configuration
consisting of Drives A, B, and C. Drive H is the host drive used by DoubleSpace.
If your computer is configured differently, refer to your DOS 6.0 user manual for
information regarding the DoubleSpace host drive selection.
Using DOS 6.0 with DoubleSpace
If you are using a 386/486 PC with 4 meg. RAM running DOS 6.0 with
DoubleSpace (uses a combination of extended and expanded memory), we
recommend using the following
CONFIG.SYS
:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /NUMHANDLES=128
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE FRAME=NONE
DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS
FILES=40
BUFFERS=40
DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\DBLSPACE.SYS /MOVE
Note
If running in a Windows environment, set the
FILES
parameter to 46 or higher
Example
CONFIG.SYS
file for extended (XMS) memory only:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /NUMHANDLES=128
DEVICE=C:\DOS\DBLSPACE.SYS /MOVE
FILES=40
BUFFERS=40
