PAR crash
James,
Here is a basic set of files (config.sys & autoexec.bat) to start
with. As I noted I do not know enough about the command switches in
QEMM to give advice. But I would start here and see if this works
with the PAR. This setup boots me to about 500K of convemtional
memory and works fine. If this works for you, then it looks like the
problem lies in the setup you are running with QEMM. DO NOT FORGET TO
RENAME YOUR OLD FILES SO YOU WILL HAVE THEM IF YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO
THE ORIGINAL SETUP!! Good luck.
:Config.sys

rem Changes by CFI 2/24/95
rem removed the mouse drivers, they were in the autoexec.bat(i.e. loading them
twice!)
rem removed all references to QEMM (mainly because I do not know all of the
switches you were using and wanted to simplify the config.sys
:Autoexec.bat

; Changes made by CFI 2/24/95
;
; Moved all of the set variables to the top, just to clean things up!
; #1 remarked this line out, I saw no device drivers loaded for the CD Rom
drive.
; #2 removed the path for qemm, added the root directory C:\ and removed the
%path% because there was no path to append.
; #3 added the / to WIN=C:\WINDOWS, this was a printed incorrectly in the
manual by IN:SYNC.
