- 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 5.10
-
- To enable Advanced Update mode while in the WIN 3.0 environment, edit
- SYSTEM.INI (use the Windows 3.0 editor SYSEDIT or NotePad) and add the
- following lines in the 386 Enhanced section:
-
- VirtualHDIrq=false
-
- Note: This switch is optional, some systems may have reduced performance.
-
- See the SYSINT2.txt and SYSINI3.TXT information files in your Windows 3.0
- directory. (To edit the SYSTEM.INI file you can use the Windows Application
- SYSEDIT, found in your WIN\SYSTEM subdirectory, the Win3 Accessory NotePad,
- or your favorite text editor.)
-
- To enable the automatic release of XMS memory from the cache for Windows 3.0,
- you must load Windows with the /3 switch. 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 with Windows 3 in Chips and Tech. based machines:
-
- 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
- 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!
