- HyperDisk and Windows 3.0
-
- HyperDisk gives you a true high-performance cache with the Win3 compatibility
- of SmartDrive.
-
- Install HIMEM.SYS (or QEMM 5.10) before HyperDisk.
- Install HyperDisk before Windows.
-
- HYPER386 or HYPER286 may be used for Windows 3.0 and HIMEM.SYS.
-
- HYPERDKX should be used with QEMM 5.11
-
- To enable the automatic release of XMS/EMS memory from the cache for Windows
- 3.0, you must load Windows with the /S or /3 switches. Having 386ENH as your
- default Win3 mode will not by itself enable the cache reduction. HYPER???
- syntax is C:NNNN:nnnn, where NNNN is cache size outside of Win3 and nnnn is
- cache size to use with Win3. You may also use CW:nnnn either as an initial
- load switch for HyperDisk or with HYPERDK from the DOS command line to set
- the size of cache to use while in Windows. See the READTHIS file for examples.
-
-
- Loading HyperDisk high in Chips and Tech. based machines and Windows 3.0:
-
- Be sure to add the appropriate EMMEXCLUDE= statement to the [386Enh] section
- of SYSTEM.INI. EMMEXCLUDE=E800-EFFFF or EMMEXCLUDE=E400-EFFF will be correct
- depending on how much memory is used by HyperDisk.
-
-
- CAUTION: Windows Enhanced mode provides time-sliced multitasking. If you use
- staged write caching, be careful with <Ctrl><Alt><Del> (Soft Reboot) when
- under Win3; it will restart your machine immediately without informing
- HyperDisk of the impending reboot, and could thus cause loss of data not yet
- written from the cache to the disk. Always exit Windows or wait until the
- disk updates are complete before you reboot your system!
