SUPERSTOR and 386MAX
This information pertains to Version 2.0 and later of SuperStor and
386MAX version 7.xx. All instructions apply to both 386MAX and
BlueMAX. 386MAX is used as an example in all cases.
Follow these directions only if you wish to have the SuperStor driver
considered as a candidate for loading into high DOS memory.
Otherwise, no special directions are necessary. When installing
SuperStor, it is important that you leave enough space on your
uncompressed drive for necessary files. About 700 KB is necessary to
copy the appropriate 386MAX files to the uncompressed drive and
approximately 2.5 MB is necessary on the compressed drive. Be certain
that you have enough space on both the compressed and uncompressed
drives before you install 386MAX. Consider leaving enough space for
other programs that may need to reside on the uncompressed drive, as
well as space for a Windows SWAP file if you plan to use one. It is
usually a good idea to leave at least 1024 KB available for use on
your uncompressed drive. If you do not have enough space on either of
the drives, or if your uncompressed drive is a hidden drive, contact
SuperStor for information on how to make the necessary changes before
you attempt to install 386MAX.
INSTALL 386MAX:
Place your 386MAX diskette into a floppy drive.
Type A:INSTALL where A: represents the drive letter of your floppy
drive press < ENTER >
Follow the on-screen prompts through INSTALL. When INSTALL asks if
you would like to run MAXIMIZE, reply NO. Do not run MAXIMIZE at this
time. You will be returned to the DOS prompt.
Bring your CONFIG.SYS up in a text editor (for DOS 5 or DOS 6, type
edit c:\config.sys). Be sure the first 3 lines, in order, read as
follows (your drive and path may differ from those given):
DEVICE =C:\386MAX\386MAX.SYS PRO=C:\386MAX\386MAX.PRO
DEVICE=C:\SSTORDRV.SYS /NOUMB
DEVICE=C:\DEVSWAP.COM
You may need to add the /NOUMB option to the SSTORDRV.SYS device line.
Reboot at this time to verify that your system functions as expected
and that you are able to access all your drives.
RUN MAXIMIZE:
Return to the 386MAX directory and type MAXIMIZE. Follow the
on-screen prompts until MAXIMIZE completes.
If you encounter any problems installing 386MAX, type Preinst at the
command line in the 386MAX directory to return your CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT to the configuration prior to the installation of this
version of 386MAX. If you have problems during MAXIMIZE, Premaxim
returns your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT to the configuration prior to
the last pass of Maximize.
If you have problems or need additional information, you may contact
Qualitas Technical Services by email at tech@qualitas.com. Please
provide the following information for technical support:
1. CONFIG.SYS file
2. AUTOEXEC.BAT file
