TITLE: DR DOS 6 SAMPLE CONFIGURATIONS FOR 80286
COMPUTERS
DOCUMENT ID#: FYI-M-1110
DATE: 02MAR93
PRODUCT: DR DOS
PRODUCT VERSION: 6.0
SUPERSEDES:
SYMPTOM: SAMPLE CONFIGURATION FILES FOR AT COMPATIBLES
ISSUE/PROBLEM: Users are not sure on how to maximize DR DOS
configurations for 80286 computers.
SOLUTION: These are some sample configuration files for AT
compatible computers. You don't have to use them exactly as
written but they can be used to give you ideas on what can be
done with DR DOS 6. What configuration you use is dependent on
the computer hardware and software.

DISKMAP C:
These files will setup an AT-type computer to use the following
DR DOS 6.0 features:
The DELWATCH command is a 5k TSR loaded to keep track of deleted
files. The options indicate that Drive C: will be watched and no
more than 200 deletions will be tracked.
The DISKMAP command takes a snap-shot of Drive C:'s file
allocation table. In case of serious disk or file corruption
DISKMAP can aid in the recovery of missing or bad files. This
command can be executed as often as needed during your computing
session in order to get the most recent FAT image (via the $x
variable in PROMPT, see page 294 of the DR DOS manual).
Depending on the use of this type of configuration, this PC/XT
could be used for other "light-duty" services on networks, et
cetera, and therefore, other drivers can be implemented which
would take more conventional memory such as SuperStor'ing the
hard-disk for additional document storage for a printer server.
SuperStor would take about 50K of conventional memory to run, and
could have a serious impact on the ability to run some DOS
applications. The examples for SuperStor in this document are for
drives other than C:. If C: is compressed SuperStor will create a
DCONFIG.SYS file on the uncompressed side and will place the
SuperStor driver there. Refer to Document 1200 for more
information on SuperStor.

This basic setup is similar to an XT with 640K RAM and additional
LIM 4.0 expanded memory.
The LIM 4.0 Expansion Board will come with a device driver which
enables it to work and function with DOS applications. The device
driver that the memory expansion board comes with could be named
REMM.SYS. Please read your documentation for your memory
expansion board for the location and name of the driver that
enables that memory. If the driver supplied with your computer is
named differently, you can still specify the use of this driver
in the same location as indicated by the REMM.SYS line above.
The MemoryMAX driver HIDOS.SYS is allowing the operating system
to relocate into Upper Memory via the /B=AUTO switch.
The other switches, /CHIPSET=EMSALL or EMSUMB allow either all
the Upper Memory to be used for the operating system's purpose or
to allow an EMS (LIM) page frame as well as an extra portion of
upper memory for the operating system to use. As stated earlier
the EMS memory manager and the LIM hardware must be LIM 4.0 to
work properly.

This basic setup is similar to an AT with 640K except for the
/B=FFFF option with HIDOS.SYS. An AT with 1MB ram will have 384K
of extended memory. This 384K will be addressed beginning at FFFF
not A000 (640 decimal) as would be assumed. Because the beginning
address is FFFF HIDOS.SYS can make use of the HMA to relocate DR
DOS kernel and data structures. This has the added benefit of
permiting the more efficient use of Upper Memory for TSRs. In
short up to 192K of memory can be put to use outside of
conventional memory.

These files can be used if your 286/AT has been manufactured with
special memory mapping chips which offer control of certain
memory functions (DR DOS Users Guide page 418-423). These systems
offer favorable Upper Memory support for DR DOS's MemoryMAX
software to enable and use Upper Memory for TSR's and device
drivers. Shadowing should be enabled in the computer's CMOS to
support the creation of upper memory by DR DOS 6. The important
line in the example above is the MemoryMAX driver HIDOS.SYS. This
allows the operating system to sense the type of chipset within
the 286/AT, enable Upper Memory and relocate the operating system
files into Upper or High Memory via the /B= switch.
The valid switch options for HIDOS.SYS /CHIPSET= are:
EMSALL
or (for XT's & AT's with LIM 4.0 hardware/drivers)
EMSUMB
NEAT (for 286s with Chips & Technologies NEAT, NEATsx,
LeAPSet, or LeAPSetsx)
SCAT (for 286s with Chips & Technologies SCAT chipset)
RAM (for permanent Upper Memory. Must be used with
the /USE option on the HIDOS.SYS driver)
NONE (for telling HIDOS.SYS not to use Shadow RAM)
AUTO (for AUTO detection of chipset installed)

Microsoft Windows 3.1 requires at least 384K of available XMS
memory. If there is enough extended memory on the computer
adding a cache such as SUPERPCK can improve Windows performance.
If SuperStor is used the TEMP environment variable should point
to a non-SuperStor drive. For additional information on Windows
3.1 and DR DOS refer to FYI-M-1603.
