To load 'high' the EMM386.EXE has to be loaded. You're trying to load 'high' with no high memory. EMM386 may not even be loading with this configuration? >SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /E:512 /P >BREAK=OFF [...] >DEVICEHIGH=C:\DRDOS\ANSI.SYS You don't really need ANSI.SYS for Arachne, do you? >DOS=HIGH,UMB "DOS=HIGH,UMB" should be the third line of config.sys for DrDOS. >FILES=40 > >BUFFERS=40 >FCBS=4,4 >DEVICEHIGH=C:\utilitie\DIAMOND\CDSETUP.SYS /T:I /P:170 /I:15 >DEVICEHIGH=C:\utilitie\DIAMOND\TOSHIBA.SYS /D:DMSCD01 >LASTDRIVE=Z "LASTDRIVE" uses memory. To squeeze the a few more bytes reduce this to actual drive letters used plus 2 max. >HISTORY=ON,512,ON >COUNTRY=1,,C:\DRDOS\COUNTRY.SYS I don't think "COUNTRY.SYS" is needed. Try without it. >STACKS=9,256 Here is one example of a DrDOS config.sys for Arachne using a ramdrive to speed Arachne up a bit. RamDisk in DR-DOS (config.sys) DEVICE=C:\DRDOS\EMM386.EXE DPMI=OFF FRAME=NONE DEVICE=C:\DRDOS\DPMS.EXE DOS=HIGH,UMB SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /E:512 /P DEVICEHIGH=C:\DRDOS\SETVER.EXE DEVICEHIGH=C:\DRDOS\VDISK.SYS 2000 512 512 /E LASTDRIVE=F ! ! ! ! BUFFERS=20 ! ! ! + use extended FILES=20 ! ! ! memory . ! ! + max number of files . ! ! in root dir of VDISK . ! + sectorsize in byte . An example autoexec.bat using NWCACHE (dump smartdrv for now): In DR-DOS your autoexec.bat with cache may look like: ------------------------------ PROMPT $n$g$p KEYB GR- VERIFY OFF SET DRDOSCFG=C:\DRDOS LH c:\dos\dosutil\ctmouse/2 NWCACHE 250 50 /LEND=ON /DELAY=OFF . ! ! . ! + minimum cache size in Kb . + maximum cache size in kb Note that 'ctmouse' (Cute-Mouse) can be loaded high? Considering the memory you have installed I would put the cache size up to 3 meg myself. Your choice. The ramdrive could be larger on your system. If not, you must press the F8 key frequently while using arachne or it locks up when it runs out of %temp% space for interim internet files. Charles Angelich The Ghost in the Machine!
