Using HDCACHE and EEMM386.EXE

The HDCACHE program (described in your MS-DOS Reference Manual) cannot use expanded memory. If you use both HDCACHE and EEMM386.EXE and you want HDCACHE to use extended memory, you must not convert all your extended memory to expanded memory with EEMM386.EXE. Instead, decide how much extended memory you want to allocate to HDCACHE. Then use the size parameter to convert the remainder of your extended memory to expanded memory.

For example, if your computer has 2MB of memory, then it has 1MB of extended memory. If you want to split this amount of memory between EEMM386.EXE and HDCACHE, modify the DEVICE= line to read:

DEVICE=EEMM386.EXE 512

512KB of your extended memory will be converted to expanded memory by EEMM386.EXE. The remainder will be available to

HDCACHE.
