I'm not going to specify my personal configuration, as this is more of a general question than a personal quest. But I know there are drivers out there, such as CuteMouse, that were made with the purpose of taking up minimal memory when loaded under native DOS. What are some good examples of these drivers? Anything from PCMCIA, to SCSI, to keyboard/mouse, CD-ROM, display, etc. Whatever you can think of that loading them together saves off every single kb you can, over using the more traditional Microsoft variants?

P.S. If I'm throwing around tech terms that aren't related to DOS machines, I'm just not putting much thought into my phrasing today. Apologies.

The vast majority of the time, you are stuck using whatever driver is supplied by the hardware manufacturer. The only real exceptions are mice, wherein CuteMouse is an option, and CD-ROM drives, which are discussed in Which is the best and most memory efficient CD-driver? .
