- Your attitude is all wrong. Even if you DON'T need TRSs, if you can
- load them high, WHY WORRY?
- Also, there are some TSRs you can't do without. Stacker, SmartDrive, Defender
- and 800(a FDD bios enhancer which gives me 820K on 360K disks) are a few TSRs
- which are vital for my system. If I load them high, I get 620K of RAM free
- for my DOS computing needs, more memory for DOS boxes, and, incidentally,
- smoother windows crank-ups. If I don't, I have to live with 511Ks and slower
- everythings. In short, you always have TSRs, and you always need more RAM.
