- Fast! version 1.0 September 22, 1989
- Future Computer Systems, INC
- By Myke Keefe
-
-
- FASTE.EXE (Expanded memory verison)
-
- Fast! is normally loaded in the config.sys file, but can also be invoked
- from a DOS prompt. I have experienced problems with lockups when
- using a mouse and the Desqview alarm clock program. It locks up
- tight within 30 seconds on my AST with 2mb provided by remm.sys.
-
- Uses around 24K conventional memory.
-
- Using REMM.SYS 4.27 did not like the FASTE.EXE /u parameter that
- disables DMA access to the page frame. Immediate crash. (Funny,
- their manual suggests to use this parameter if you are
- experiencing lock ups.)
-
- Putting it to end of config.sys and it seems to work better.
-
-
- FASTX.EXE (Extended Memory Version)
- Can be loaded in CONFIG.SYS or from the DOS prompt. Min size
- 128K in extended.
- It doesn't seem to use any conventional memory or a very small
- amount in this version.
-
- Have tried it with all features except the background update and
- have experienced no lock ups.
-
-
- FASTC.EXE (Conventional Memory version)
- Also seems to run with out any conflicts. Default is to use all
- but 256K of conventional.
