- If you are using SSTOR then EMM386 is loaded in a file called DCONFIG.SYS.
- When you boot a SSTOR drive, DRDOS looks in DCONFIG.SYS and loads anything
- there just as if it was a CONFIG.SYS. The last things in DCONFIG are a driver
- that switches C and D:, making C: the compressed disk and D: the uncompressed
- disk, and then a CHAIN command to chain to CONFIG.SYS.
- If you want to load a different EMM driver, you need to put it in D:DCONFIG.SYS
- . Have I confused you? I've confused me. Good luck. JJH
