China DOS Union

Learning from an expert~!

So profound.

Nice

Can you explain the config.sys above?

I saw a line in config.sys on a 98 boot disk:
devicehigh=ramdrive.sys /E 2048
But on some other 98 boot disks, this line in config.sys is instead:
devicehigh=ramdrive.sys /E 2048 512 112
What does each of them mean? What do the parameters afterward mean? Please explain.
Thanks thanks!!!!!!!!!!

Don’t panic, post #94. After I finish writing the whole thing, there will be concrete examples and explanations. If you have any config file problems that urgently need solving, please go to the config diagnosis clinic and make a post.
As for post #95, this is the amount of memory used by the virtual disk.

Written extremely well.

Could you explain specifically to post #95 what that means?

Reading this makes my head spin, it’s really hard to learn!

I’m confused~~ Reading it piece by piece makes me dizzy~~~`

Master, please continue~~~

Pretty good, could you post more? It’s too slow. It’s enough to make people anxious. Thanks.

Very well written, I learned a lot of things I didn’t know before because I had never used them. Thanks for providing this.

The following is quoted from Master Rushi on 2003-5-21 20:33:26:
Let me explain one thing here. I wrote this explanation according to the general frequency of use of the commands. In a sense, I’m explaining first the ones I’m more familiar with and use more often.. I didn’t arrange them in strict academic alphabetical order. Please forgive me... Now let’s continue.
             7, Setting time and date formats
                 Here I’ll talk about a command we Chinese don’t often use: COUNTRY. This is a command for setting time and date formats. We all know that because of the physical nature of the earth, people of different countries differ in race, customs, and time, so the currency systems of each country are also different. DOS defaults to using USA settings.. COUNTRY can change the default time, date, and currency settings.. The format used is:
                  COUNTRY=(country code as specified, such as 001-972) There isn’t one for China. So I don’t remember the exact codes very clearly. I basically never use this command, I only remember that England seems to be 044. Maybe wengier would know it clearly.
                 8, Low memory management
                 This is a very interesting command. The dos command in DOS. The first dos refers to the DOS system. The second dos manages and frees low memory for applications. This dos establishes and maintains low memory, and establishes the connection between low memory and upper memory. It can load part of the DOS system itself into UMB (upper memory).
                 Its general format is:
                  DOS=HIGH\LOW\AUTO
                  HIGH   load part of DOS into the high memory area (HMB)
                  LOW   restrict DOS to the low memory area
                  AUTO  automatically choose where to place DOS.
                  UMB    maintain the connection between low memory and reserved memory.. allowing DOS to use   LOADHIGH and DEVICEHIGH and other commands to load devices or programs into upper memory.
                 NOUMB   forbid DOS from using upper memory. Restrict the connection between low memory and upper memory.
                 In this command, parameters that do not conflict with each other can generally be used together. When using them together, please separate them with “,”. When using the HIGH and UMB parameters, note that at minimum HIMEM.SYS should already be loaded. This command can appear anywhere in the CONFIG file..

In the quoted text above, which one is the high memory area in “UMB (upper memory)” and “HIGH load part of DOS into the high memory area (HMB)”—is it HMB or UMB???

What Ru Shi wrote is good! I support you. I posted a related thread too, and you saw it. Thanks!
But you said I didn't make it clear.
Let me explain here. In Properties, under the memory item, I saw: "No third-party software management."
Which software should be installed, and how do I install it? Please say it in my thread!
Thanks again to Master Ru Shi for the good post.
