Stereo Sound & CD-ROM
The installation program will set this value to 10.
The default value is 4.
NOTE:
The greater this value , the better the CD-ROM drive will
perform. However, each buffer uses about 2K of memory and
specifying too many buffers may slow down computer operation
or interfere with other programs which have large memory usage
requirements. Using expanded memory (sec the /E option in this
section) or loading
MSCDEX.EXE
into high memory (refer to
your MS-DOS Users Manual or Memory Manager Users
Manual) may allow you to specify a larger number of buffers to
enhance CD-ROM performance and operate programs with large
memory usage requirements simultaneously.
Í/E]
Instructs the computer to use expanded memory, if available. For
example:
O
C
:\BIN
\MSCDEX.EXE
/D:MSCD000
/E
Note that vou must first load an expanded memory driver before
A *
using this option. If no expanded memory driver is load, the
following error message appears;
Expanded memory not present or not usable
Í/VJ
Instincts the computer to display a summán of RAM allocation
and expanded memory usage at booting. For Example, specifying
O C:\BIN\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD000 /V
will cause the computer to display memory information in the
following format:
5556864 bytes free memory
0
bytes
expanded memory
12752 bytes CODE
1712 bytes static DATA
12618 bytes dynamic DATA
27344 bvtes used
[/L: drive letter]
Specifies the drive letter to be assigned to the first CD-ROM
drive. Do not assign a letter already used bv an existing drive or
