REM __________________EXTENDED MEMORY PROVIDER__________________
REM Specifying DOS=HIGH loads portions of DOS, HIMEM.SYS,
REM and COMMAND.COM into HMA (High Memory Area). Since less is
REM loaded into conventional memory, you have about 18K more free
REM conventional memory when using this configuration. Cost is that
REM 64K of extended memory must be reserved thus reducing maximum
REM size of the RAM drive allowed.
device=d:\himem.sys
dos=high
REM ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^EXTENDED MEMORY PROVIDER^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
REM ___________________UPPER MEMORY PROVIDER___________________
REM UMP.SYS can be used with HIMEM.SYS or alone. However, it cannot be used
REM with EMM386.EXE. UMP.SYS does not provide expanded memory, so if
REM expanded memory is required, use EMM386.EXE. By default, UMP.SYS claims
REM all available upper memory address ranges. If you are using PC Card
REM devices, you need to reserve address space for those devices.
REM To allow the BIOS to support SRAM cards in either drive A or B:
rem device=d:\ump.sys /X=C800
REM To allow NGENMOD.SYS to provide internal modem support:
rem device=d:\ump.sys /X=C800,CC00
REM To allow CardSoft to manage PC Card devices:
rem device=d:\ump.sys /X=D000,D400,D800,DC00
REM The exclude switches above are additive. Therefore, if both NGENMOD.SYS
REM and CardSoft are used:
rem device=d:\ump.sys /X=C800,CC00,D000,D400,D800,DC00
REM The following line allocates all upper memory provided to the DOS memory
REM manager for use by DEVICEHIGH and LOADHIGH.
rem dos=umb
REM ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^UPPER MEMORY PROVIDER^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
REM ___________________EXPANDED MEMORY MANAGER___________________
REM Load EMM386.EXE for expanded memory.
REM Notes: The address ranges used must be explicitly specified since the
REM scanning algorithms used do not consistently find the available ranges.
REM HIMEM.SYS must be loaded before EMM386.EXE
REM Without CARDSOFT:
rem device=emm386.exe i=B000–B7FF x=C800–EFFF 1024 ram frame=E000
REM With CARDSOFT
rem device=emm386.exe i=B000–B7FF i=C800–CFFF x=D000–DFFF
i=E000–EFFF 1024 ram frame=E000
REM The following line allocates all upper memory provided to the DOS memory
REM manager for use by DEVICEHIGH and LOADHIGH.
rem dos=umb
REM ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^EXPANDED MEMORY MANAGER^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
REM ______________ADVANCED POWER MANAGEMENT (APM) BIOS_____________
REM Load the NORAND Advanced Power Management BIOS
devicehigh=d:\norapm.exe
REM ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ADVANCED POWER MANAGEMENT (APM) BIOS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
REM ____________DOS ADVANCED POWER MANAGEMENT (APM) DRIVER___________
REM Please see the Programmer’s Reference Guide for other settings that
REM may be applicable.
REM /SS:1 is required whenever CARDSOFT drivers are loaded.
