Hi :-) Glad you noticed that FDAPM APMDOS uses less RAM than DOSIDLE :-)
Maybe "FDAPM /apmdos" is not included as default because it can slow down some application, am I correct?
In that case, you could use the ADV:xyz options instead of APMDOS, see the documentation, but I have another theory ;-) The FreeDOS kernel includes the IDLEHALT config sys option to get some basic "idle" power saving without using any extra RAM. So whether you use FDAPM or IDLEHALT depends on how much RAM you want to spend. Also, as with LBACACHE, CDRCACHE and possibly Jack's caches and disk drivers (UHDD, UDVD2, UIDE, etc.) there MIGHT be side effects of loading those high into UMB, so given how little RAM is used by FDAPM, you MAY prefer to load it low. Things will work fine when loaded high on MOST systems anyway :-) Regards, Eric _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
