- General configuration information
- ---------------------------------
- TAPEDISK requires a Virtual-86 Memory Manager such as HIMEM.SYS+EMM386.EXE,
- QEMM, 386MAX, NETROOM or others.
-
- The Virtual-86 Memory Manager must be instructed to enable the EMS Page Frame.
-
- You must install the SCSI host adapter's ASPI manager. Exceptions to this
- requirement are listed in the configuration information files.
-
- You must load the TAPEDISK driver in an appropriate location in CONFIG.SYS.
- TAPEDISK can load as a TSR, or in AUTOEXEC.BAT. But for most situations
- it should load in CONFIG.SYS.
-
- TAPEDISK is a block structured device driver. As such, DOS assigns it's
- drive letter in relation to it's load order in CONFIG.SYS. If you have disk
- compression software you may be required to install the TAPEDISK driver
- after the compression software.
