- intended only to attempt to alleviate the known hardware
- inconsistencies.
-

- -MAXR 0ffffh
-
- -MINIBUF, MAXIBUF nkilobytes
- Controls how much memory is allocated to the data buffer used for DOS
- and BIOS function calls. Personal Designer defaults are:
- -MINI 1
- -MAXI 4
-
- -EXTLOW, EXTHIGH address
- Limits the amount of extended memory (memory above 1 megabyte) that

- -EXTH FFFFFFFFh (4 gigabytes)
-
- -INTMAP vector
- Disables remapping of interrupt vectors to allow protected mode memory
- resident (TSR) programs to be installed. Personal Designer default

- is not used.
-
- -MAXVCPI nbytes
- Controls how much Virtual Control Program Interface (VCPI) memory is
- available to Personal Designer. Please see the Using Display Lists
