Installing Edisk.sys - Everex EV-159 Owner's Manual And Reference Manual

EDISKSYS is an excellent way for AT owners who
have extended memory available to take advantage of
this memory space.
Identify which types of memory exist in your system, and
decide which one will be used for a RAM disk. EDISKSYS
will allow you to define as many RAM disks as you want in
one or more memory types. You are limited only by the
system's memory capacity.
Please note that each RAM disk defined can ONLY use one
type of memory. You cannot define a single RAM disk to
split over several memory types. However, you can define
two or more RAM disks within one type of memory, as
long as the RAM disks fit within the computer's limit for
that type of memory.
5.2.1 Installing EDISK.syS
Start by copying the file EDISK.syS from the Everex utility
diskette into the root directory of your system disk. If you
prefer not to keep the program file EDISKSYS in your root
directory, you can instead copy it to a subdirectory; in this
case be sure to read
Section
5.2.2:
EDISK.SYS Parameters
for
instructions on setting up the EDISK.syS command line to
run EDISK.syS from a subdirectory. If your computer is
floppy-based, the system disk is the DOS diskette that you
use to boot your system; if you have a hard disk then the
system disk is drive "C". We suggest copying the entire
utility diskette onto another disk, and storing the original in
a safe place.
