Working with Windows for Workgroups

This section describes how to customize the OmniBook for use with Windows for Workgroups including the following:

♦Maximizing memory.

♦Increasing performance.

♦Using DriveSpace compression.

♦Using the OmniBook 3000 Port Replicator.

To maximize memory

Certain situations require a large segment of conventional memory. For instance, an application may require SCSI drivers as well as network drivers, and still require additional conventional memory. In Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11, conventional memory is freed by optimizing upper memory and loading specified device drivers high. The following will provide 136K of upper memory.

1.Edit the EMM386 line in CONFIG.SYS as follows:

device=c:\dos\emm386.exe noems i=b000-b7ff x=c000-cbff i=cc00-cfff x=d000-d1ff i=d200-dfff x=e000-efff

Some applications require the UMB b000-b7ff (the VGA monochrome memory area). In this instance, a memory conflict can occur. If the application does not require the VGA monochrome memory area, there will be no conflict.

2.Add the following line to the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file: device=monoumb.386

The default EMM386 line allots PC Cards 8K of upper memory.

3.If you are using a PC Card that requires more upper memory change the EMM386 to read as follows:

device=c:\dos\emm386.exe noems i=b000-b7ff x=c000-cbff i=cc00-cfff x=d000-d7ff i=d800-dfff x=e000-efff

4.The C:\CARDWIZ\CSALLOC.INI file needs to be edited to reflect the emm386 line change. The CONFIG.SYS and the CSALLOC.INI files have pre-configured lines for either 8K or 32K of PC Card support. Simply remove the # in the
