Enabling the Cache (OS/2 version)

The OS/2 2.0 or higher cache control program, SLCOS220.SYS, should be loaded as a device driver in your
CONFIG.SYS file. To add the device driver to your CONFIG.SYS file, do the following:
Step 1. Copy SLCOS220.SYS to the OS/2 root directory on the hard drive, or to a bootable floppy if
you are booting from a floppy.
Step 2. Using your favorite text editor, add the following line as the last "DEVICE=" line in your
CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE = C:\OS2\SLCOS220.SYS
This will enable the SLC/Now! to operate at optimum performance. Please note, you cannot open a DOS
window within OS/2 to run the speed test from the Kingston diskette. To test the SLC/Now!'s performance
you must boot from a DOS floppy to run the Landmark 2.0 speed test.
