Keywords: DOS, device drivers, config.sys Message-ID: <8178@ncoast.UUCP> Date: 24 Jun 88 19:04:08 GMT Reply-To: mattern@ncoast.UUCP (Duane L. Mattern) Distribution: na Organization: Cleveland Public Access UN*X, Cleveland, Oh Lines: 18 I'm looking for a way to install/de-install device drivers into DOS 3.xx. Typically these drivers are installed during booting, (in config.sys), but they can eat up a lot of memory. Does anyone have way to de-install and re-install device drivers, so that they are only active when actually need and not eating up memory than could be used (read that "is needed") for application programs? Better yet, can I move the device drivers to expanded or extended memory? (I know the answer is no, but I just thought I'd ask). No flames about DOS please. I'd switch to QNX (or even a hog like UNIX) if I could get anyone to agree with me....(and pay for it) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Duane L.
