Startup Files
AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS startup fi les containing default
confi guration information are factory installed on the C: drive of the
Allegro. Each time you turn on or reboot into DOS on the Allegro,
DOS searches for these fi les and carries out their commands.
(Note: If the Allegro is booted from the A: drive, the CONFIG.SYS
and AUTOEXEC.BAT fi les on C: are not executed.)
❖ Important Note: It is important that the existing CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT fi les located on the Allegro's C: drive are not replaced.
If you need to change these fi les for your application, carefully follow the
directions given in the Startup File section.
