Hi Jack Ellis and others, I also have a couple of questions about UIDE.
Question 1. Can we continue using the /PM switch with the new release of UIDE? The reason I'm asking is that new README.TXT file does not mention it anymore (except in the Revision Summary). Question 2. Readme.Txt says "Power-saving features such as a 'drive spin-down timeout' should be DISABLED". My setup (AMIBIOS Version 2.5, 1997) does not have a feature with that specific name, but it does have: Hard Disk Time Out Is that what I should disable? If so, does this mean that the hard disk must keep running all the time if UIDE is used? The setup also has the following: Hard Disk Power Down Mode Standby Time Out Suspend Time Out Are these three also involved? Currently my pertinent FDCONFIG.SYS lines are: BUFFERS=4 ; (Recommended by Jack Ellis) devicehigh=C:\FDOS\UIDE\uide.sys /S40 Thanks, Marcos ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Achieve unprecedented app performance and reliability What every C/C++ and Fortran developer should know.
