DOS 6.22 optimized configs
Robert
sure nothing changed. Here are my VPC 2007 optimized CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT. You can find the alternate device drivers for the DOS
6.22 versions on the Internet. My choices are also the most
compatible with Virtual PC. I tried alternate memory managers such as
QHIMEM & JEMM386 , as well as alternate caching programs other than
Smartdrv, but they were flaky.
Much of the inspiration was from http://www.mdgx.com/
