- The following is a copy of my CONFIG.SYS file. I managed to squeeze
- 637088 bytes (622.2K) out of MS-DOS 5.0 using Quarterdeck's QEMM-386 Memory
- Manager ver. 5.13. The system running this setup is a 386DX-25 with 4 Meg.
- of RAM, using AMI Bios and the C&T Chipset. No memory resident software is
- loaded through the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and it has therefore not been included.
-
- So far I have not encountered any problems with this configuration and
- all my software including Windows 3.0 works great.
-
- If you would like some help in getting the most out of your PC, please
- give me a call. I run a company called CMS Consulting, and we offer
- many services including: System Setup
