I've finally gotten around to fixing up two of my old systems, but I'm having trouble making good config.sys and autoexec.bat's for them. Can anyone help?
System 1
-----------
IBM Personal Computer 350 (Pentium 200)
16MB RAM
Ensoniq Soundscape Opus
Geforce 2 MX400
Windows 98/DOS
System 2
----------
IBM PS/ValuePoint (433SX/S)
16MB RAM
Soundblaster Awe 32 + MT-32
Built-In Graphics (S3)
DOS 6.22
Autoexec.bat (System 1)
-------------------------------
@ECHO OFF
SET PATH=C:\Windows;C:\Windows\command;C:\DOS;C:\
PROMPT $P$G
SET TEMP=C:\TEMP
CALL C:\Sndscape\initss.bat
LH C:\DOS\Mouse.com
LH C:\Windows\Command\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /L:E
LH C:\Windows\Command\Doskey /insert bufsize=1024
Config.sys (System 1)
--------------------------
LASTDRIVE=Z
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\himem.sys /testmem:off
DEVICE=C:\Windows\emm386.exe I=b700-bfff
DOS=HIGH,UMB
BUFFERSHIGH=40,0
FILESHIGH=50
DEVICEHIGH=C:\Windows\Command\ansi.sys (some games still need this)
DEVICEHIGH=VIDE-CDD.sys /d:mscd001 /P:1F0,14
DEVICEHIGH=C:\WIndows\setver.exe
Mem says I only have 534K conventional memory free and the largest free upper memory block is 0K. This doesn't sound right to me.
Autoexec.bat (System 2)
-----------------------------
@ECHO OFF
PROMPT $P$G
PATH=C:\;C:\DOS;C:\SB16
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6 E620
SET SOUND=C:\SB16
SET MIDI=SYNTH:1 MAP:E
C:\SB16\DIAGNOSE /S
C:\SB16\MIXERSET /P /Q
LH C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001
LH CTMOUSE.EXE
LH C:\DOS\Doskey /insert bufsize=1024
Config.sys (System 2)
---------------------------
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /TESTMEM:OFF
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE I=B700-BFFF
DOS=HIGH,UMB
FILES=40
BUFFERS=30
DEVICEHIGH=c:\DOS\ANSI.SYS
DEVICEHIGH=c:\SB16\DRV\CSP.SYS /UNIT=0 /BLASTER=A:220
DEVICEHIGH=VIDE-CDD.sys /d:mscd001 /P:1F0,14
This gets me 562K conventional and the largest upper memory block free of 0K. Once again, this can't be right.
