Does anyone know how much stack space microsoft recommends to reserve for
interrupts and DOS?

Also, what's the longest amount of time interrupts can safely be left off?

Finally, what exactly does the 'STACKS=' config.sys command do?  I.E., is this
for device drivers, DOS, bios or what?

Oh yeah, how much stack space are you supposed to reserve when you call bios
functions?  (bios doesn't switch stacks like MS-DOS, right?)
