Well I'm sure Glenn will know how to tune up DRDOS better than I, but in
generic terms, I'd say you could make FRAME=NONE and skip the NOEMS for
EMM386. And I don't know what the MULTI and /V switches are.
Do you really need setver?
Shell: What's the C:\ do ?
Buffers: 20 would be better - even less if you are using an HD cache.
FCBS: Most sofware today uses handles instead of FCBS. That's controlled
by Files. Which I would increase to 30. Take the default on FCBS.
Except for the fact that other DOSs require Himem.sys before EMM386 and I
haven't a clue about DRDOS, there is nothing other than that which I can
see might limit your use of high memory.
I'm sure there will be other comments.
