Command
Type
Purpose
ROM-DOS has internal buffers to temporarily hold data read from the disk.
Increasing the number of internal buffers will speed system performance.
Syntax
BUFFERS = number
Remarks
Each buffer used by ROM-DOS requires 512 bytes of RAM. The BUFFERS
command will increase or decrease the amount of RAM used by the operating
system.
The minimum number of buffers is 2 and the maximum number is 40. If a number
less than 2 is given then the number of BUFFERS is set to 2. If a number larger than
40 is given then BUFFERS is set to 40.
Example
The following example causes ROM-DOS to have 10 buffers. These 10 buffers will
use 5120 bytes of RAM.
