Notes about ATEasy 2.0:
=======================
The following notes provide important information which may not be
included in the ATEasy User Manual or covered by the on-line Help
feature of ATEasy. The topics covered in the following paragraph are:
* CONFIG.SYS
* AUTOEXEC.BAT
* Possible problems when using RS-232 COM ports.
CONFIG.SYS
----------
When installing Microsoft Windows, the SETUP file modifies the
CONFIG.SYS file. These changes are required in order for Windows and
ATEasy to operate properly. The following statements should appear in
your CONFIG.SYS file:
Device=himem.sys
Device=smartdrv.sys
Files=30
Buffers=20
For optimum performance, the first statement (device=himem.sys) MUST
be placed as the FIRST statement of the CONFIG.SYS file. The second
statement (device=smartdrv.sys) is not required although highly
recommended. For more information on these commands please refer to
Microsoft Windows User Guide or MS-DOS user guide.
============================================================
| |
| AVOID STARTING ANY UNNECESSARY MEMORY-RESIDENT SOFTWARE |
| (TSR) FROM YOUR CONFIG.SYS FILE. |
