Hi Lester!
As UMBPCI.SYS is used insted of EMM386.EXE what's the proper setting for DOS and DOSDATA. I left both at: DOS=HIGH,UMB DOSDATA=UMB Should this be changed to: DOS=HIGH rem DOSDATA=UMB
No - if your UMBs work, you can leave DOS and DOSDATA as they are. If they do not work, then you should not load UMBPCI at all...
3) What is this: SET DIRCMD=/OGN
This means that everytime when you run DIR, it will behave as if you had used the option /OGN for it. See DIR /? for details.
4) DEVICE=C:\FDOS\BIN\FDXXMST.SYS BIOS NUMHANDLES=64 How to figure out the best value for numhandles
Does not really matter - more handles mean that FDXXMS will use a bit more memory (do not use FDXXMST unless you really want to activate the debugging functions in it, otherwise the extra complexity gives you no extra gain). Too few handles mean that some programs which use XMS will not work. Just try it :-). And check the MEM /X output to see how many handles are actually used.
What's the proper keyboard driver for US-Eng keyboard?
The best is probably not using a driver at all as the BIOS default is US.
INSTALLHIGH=C:\FDOS\BIN\LBACACHE.COM BUF 12 DRV C
see LBACACHE /? for the current syntax. I think you should use something like LBACACHE 4096 TUNS (if you do not use SCSI / SATA / RAID, the TUNS is not needed). You may want to add the FLOP option for floppy caching, too. DRV is not needed as drives are autodetected.
LH DISPLAY CON=(EGA,,1)
As you do not use non-US fonts, you do not have to load DISPLAY at all.
DEVICEHIGH=C:\FDOS\BIN\QCDROM.SYS /D:CDROM1 DEVICEHIGH=C:\FDOS\BIN\CDRCACHE.SYS CDROM1 CDRCACH$ 12 SHCDX33A /D:?CDROM1 /C /V /~+ /Q+
If you load things that way, the cdrom cache is not active. Replace the SHCDX33A line by SHCDX33A /D:?CDRCACH$ ...
