well that is why i propose to make a boot floppy disk. you can then change any paramater on floppy disk and you can't mess anything up. if you do you just take out the floppy and reset the computer.
here is my autoexec on abandonia boot disk:
@ECHO OFF
path=c:\windows\command
LH /L:1 MOUSE.COM
rem c:\mouse\mouse.exe
SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T2
SET SNDSCAPE=C:\WINDOWS
SET CTSYN=C:\sbpci
c:\sbpci\apinit
c:\windows\command\mscdex.exe /D:TEAC-CDI /M:15
prompt $p$g
i coloured the lines. here blue defines mouse, red defines sounblaster parameters, and green defines my CD drive.
this is my config.sys
NUMLOCK=ON
BREAK=ON
DOS=HIGH,UMB,NOAUTO
FILESHIGH=40
FCBSHIGH=1,0
BUFFERSHIGH=30,0
rem LASTDRIVEHIGH=J
LASTDRIVE=Z
DEVICE=C:\TEAC\TEAC_CDI.SYS /D:TEAC-CDI
STACKSHIGH=9,256
DEVICE=A:\HIMEM.SYS /V
DEVICE=A:\EMM386.EXE RAM /MIN=0 I=B000-B7FF /V
SHELL=A:\COMMAND.COM A:\ /E:1024 /P
here lines in blue define that your memory is transfered to upper memory to free the conventioanl memory. conventional memmory is 640kB, upper memmory is memmory between 640kB and 1MB RAM.
the red line defines type of memmory used. first line is XMS memmory and second one is EMS memmory. if i write
rem in fron of the second line the computer will "jump" over it and EMS wont get installed. sometimes this is needed to free more conventional memmory.
edit these configs give me 541kB free ram. if i remove teac cd drivers (for trunning the cd) by typing rem in front of them the number drastically increases.
