B U F F E R S
CONFIG.SYS
Purpose
ROM-DOS has internal buffers to temporarily hold data read from the
disk. Increasing the number of internal buffers will speed system
performance.
Syntax
BUFFERS = number
Remarks
Each buffer used by ROM-DOS requires 512 bytes of RAM. The
BUFFERS command increases or decreases the amount of RAM used
by the operating system.
The minimum number of buffers is 2 and the maximum number is 40. If
a number less than 2 is given, the number of BUFFERS is set to 2. If a
number larger than 40 is given, BUFFERS is set to 40.
Examples
BUFFERS = 10
Causes ROM-DOS to have 10 buffers. These 10 buffers use 5120
bytes of RAM.
