Who knows the answer for this:

Some software come both in a device-driver and executable file form.
The former belongs in the CONFIG.SYS, while the latter can be loaded
either on startup from the AUTOEXEC.BAT, or later.

Assuming that  one wants to load, say, the mouse driver on startup anyway,
is SYS better than COM, or vice versa, or it does not matter ?
