Hi Andy,

Heree are my suggestions.


--- autoexec.bat ---

@ECHO OFF
SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T4
c:\drdos\nwcdex.exe /D:CDROM /M:20 /V
rem nwcdex works much better than mscdex
rem however, some programs are setup to detect mscdex and will not
rem recognize the CD when you use nwcdex
rem for that reason you should not delete mscdex from your drive
rem but rather keep it to use "as a last resort" <g>

lh C:\utilitie\DIAMOND\SNDINIT.EXE /b
rem This is most likely why your sound card is not working
rem you had both occurences of this line remed-out
rem my soundcard requires this line in autoexec.bat
rem c:\aztpnp.exe /a:on

SET PATH C:\DRDOS;C:\;C:\internet\TWSK20
PROMPT $p$g
VERIFY OFF
rem turning off the verify function will speed-up all disk writes
rem IIRC, it is turned on by default. Therefore all disk writes are 
rem checked to "verify" that write was done correctly

lh E:\CTM20A3.EXE
rem what is CTM20A3.EXE ???

lh NWCACHE 3396 1024 /LEND=ON /DELAY=ON

SET TEMP=C:\TEMP
IF NOT DIREXIST %TEMP% MD %TEMP%
rem must first 'set' it and then check to see if it exists<g>


SET DRDOSCFG=C:\DRDOS
c:\drdos\drmouse.exe
rem DRmouse is actually CT-mouse by Nagy Daniel and is one of the best
rem mouse drivers ever written
rem as L.D. would say..... IMNSHO<g>

TZ=EST7EDT
rem do you need to set the TimeZone for use by some specific program ???
_________________


--- config.sys ---

DEVICE=C:\DRDOS\EMM386.EXE DPMI=OFF FRAME=AUTO /R=AUTO
rem DEVICEHIGH=C:\DRDOS\SETVER.EXE
rem don't load setver unless you must have it for some specific program

DOS=HIGH,UMB
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /E:1024 /P
BREAK=ON
rem DEVICEHIGH=C:\DRDOS\ANSI.SYS

BUFFERS=30
FILES=50

rem FCBS=5,5
rem FCBS will most likely not be needed

LASTDRIVE=Z
rem keep the drives as low as you can
rem in my case.. L is as high as I usually go
rem R when CD drive is loaded

HISTORY=ON,256,ON
DEVICEHIGH=C:\utilitie\DIAMOND\CDSETUP.SYS /T:I /P:170 /I:15
DEVICEHIGH=C:\utilitie\DIAMOND\TOSHIBA.SYS /D:DMSCD01
rem check to see if both of these are needed

Let me know if you need these device drivers for the ZIPdrive.
It will work much faster if you use the device drivers.
(guest.exe is slower than molases in january) <g>

rem ZIP DRIVE
DEVICEHIGH=C:\IOMEGA\ASPIPPM1.SYS  FILE=PC873EPP.ILM SPEED= 10
DEVICE=C:\IOMEGA\ASPIPPM2.SYS FILE=NIBBLE2.ILM SPEED=10 Quiet
DEVICE=C:\IOMEGA\ASPIIDE.SYS Scan Info Quiet
DEVICE=C:\IOMEGA\SCSICFG.EXE /V
DEVICE=C:\IOMEGA\SCSIDRVR.SYS
SET SCSI_DRIVER = C:\IOMEGA
SET SCSI_UTILITY = C:\IOMEGA
