- Hello there,
-
- I have the following questions:
- 1. TO simulate disk cache with dos and windows you can either put the
- statements
- a) devicehigh=c:\smartdrv.sys in the config.sys file or
- b) loadhigh=c:\smartdrv.exe in the autoexec.bat file
-
- What is the difference between the 2 statements?
- Also, how much cache would be recommended to have with a total of 4MB ram when
- you run windows?
-
- 2. I have aproblem with the path statement of dos.
- If I type the following statement in the dos prompt
- PATH = C:\DOS; C:\WINDOWS; C:\STACKER;
- in capital letters it works but if I put it in a batch file such as the
- autoexec.bat file it tells me "Too many parameters". Does anybody have any
- ideas as to what the problem might be?
-
- I would very much appreciate any relevant response.
