Epson 286 PLUS Manuel D’Utilisation

If you have a word processing program that can save a file as a
text-only file (also called an ASCII file), you can use it to add

the memory manager to the CONFIG.SYS file. Follow these

steps:

1.

Start your word processing program.

2.

Load the file CONFIG.SYS and add the following command

line:

DEVICE=EMM286.SYS

For information on optional parameters, see “Using
EMM286.SYS options,” below.

Note

If the EMM286.SYS file is in a directory other than the

root directory and you have not entered that directory in

a PATH command (in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, for

example), you need to include the pathname for
EMM286.SYS on the DEVICE= command line. For
example, if EMM286.SYS is in a directory called \DRV

on drive C, include the pathname like this:

DEVICE=C:\DRV\EMM286.SYS

If you plan to use any of your expanded memory to create
a virtual disk with the MS-DOS VDISK device driver, be

sure to insert the DEVICE=EMM286.SYS command line
before the VDISK command line in your CONFIG.SYS

file. See your MS-DOS Reference Manual for information

about VDISK.

3.

Save the file as an ASCII text file.

4. Reset the computer.
