- This line was probably added by the dspinst program. I didn't have
- this line in my config.sys previously (and i didn't miss it, as i
- don't have DOS apps using 8514 ;-).
-
- Nevertheless, if you don't want to delete this line, unpack it
- manually from the SP disks. Look at the TOC posted to this list
- recently...
-
- What about the VDMA{AT,PS2} stuff? SP service didn't ipdate this one,
- either. Anyone knows, if it is useful/recommended/dangerous to unpack
- this one manually and rename it?
