Hello there, I have the following questions: 1. TO simulate disk cache with dos and windows you can either put the statements a) devicehigh=c:\smartdrv.sys in the config.sys file or b) loadhigh=c:\smartdrv.exe in the autoexec.bat file What is the difference between the 2 statements? Also, how much cache would be recommended to have with a total of 4MB ram when you run windows? 2. I have aproblem with the path statement of dos. If I type the following statement in the dos prompt PATH = C:\DOS; C:\WINDOWS; C:\STACKER; in capital letters it works but if I put it in a batch file such as the autoexec.bat file it tells me "Too many parameters". Does anybody have any ideas as to what the problem might be? I would very much appreciate any relevant response. Feel free to send mail to Internet Address:telnet tesla.ece.ukans.edu or Internet Address: telnet kuhub.cc.ukans.edu or Internet Address: gt0430c@prism.gatech.edu
