- HyperDisk and Windows 3.0
-
-
- Windows Enhanced mode provides time sliced multitasking. If you use write
- caching, watchout for <Ctrl><Alt><Del> (Soft Reboot) it will restart your
- machine immediately without informing HyperDisk of the impending reboot.
- Always exit Windows or wait until the disk updates are complete before you
- reboot your system!
-
- Install HIMEM.SYS (or QEMM 5.10) before HyperDisk.
- Install HyperDisk before Windows.
-
- HYPER386 or HYPER286 may be used for Windows 3.0 and HIMEM.SYS.
-
- HYPERDKX should be used with QEMM 5.10
-
- To enable Advanced Update mode while in the WIN 3.0 environment, edit
- SYSTEM.INI (use Windows 3.0 editor SYSEDIT) and add the following line in the
- 386 Enhanced section:
-
- VirtualHDIrq=false
-
- See the SYSINI3.TXT information file in your Windows 3.0 directory. Also,
- to edit the SYSTEM.INI file you can use the Windows Application SYSEDIT.
-
- To automaticlly release XMS memory for Windows 3.0, use the following
- command parameter before running Windows 3.0
-
- HYPERDK cw:2048 ; set HyperDisk cache to 2048K bytes when running Win 3.0
- ; you can set CW:nnn at anytime, or during installation
- ; see the READTHIS file for example syntax
-
- WIN /3 ; run enhanced mode for 386 machine
- ; alternately you may use standard or real modes
-
- Please note: If most of the XMS memory is allocated to HyperDisk you must use
- the /3 option to force Windows 3.0 to issue it's startup call-out
- notice, otherwise Windows will start in real mode.
-
-
- When Windows 3.0 starts HyperDisk will reduce it cache buffer to 2048K bytes.
- If the current cache size is already smaller than 2048, it will remain
- unchanged. 2048K is a example number you may choose 0 for no cache, or
- starting with 32K upto the initial installed value. CW without a number
- disables the resize operations. See READTHIS for more examples.
-
-
- Loading HyperDisk high in Chips and Tech. based machines:
-
- Be sure to add to the SYSTEM.INI 386 Enhanced section the appropriate
- EMMEXCLUDE= statement. EMMEXCLUDE=E800-EFFFF or EMMEXCLUDE=E400-EFFF will
- be correct depending on how much memory is used by HyperDisk.
