PAR in WIN95???
3 messages in this thread
I have no clue. I do not work for DPS. I just wrote that one driver for them.
I don't have any experience with Win/95. I went straight to NT bypassing it all
together. As far as I know, Win/95 is still the same old Windows 3.1 with some
fancy interface wrapped around it. It still boots from DOS and still uses the
same old config.sys and autoexec.bat (it has to). They are, however, all
hidden. You can configure your boot system so you determine your own config.sys
and autoexec.bat in order to load a "known" state. Then you boot Win/95 just
like you did with the old Windows (by running WIN.COM). That way you can still
use your ole'reliable QEMM and everything else. As far as PAR drivers for NT
(they are not, they could not (sounds like Cat in the hat) be the same as
Wn/95) … I don't know. I do know they have some cool development going on for
the new PVR board but I haven't seen it. FTP Site? I did not know they had
one…
Not much of an answer but…

This guy's knowledge of WIN95 (and for that matter NT) are questionable…the
config.sys and autoexec.bat files are only used for loading legacy drivers
(drivers for which there are not a 32bit version)…in a clean WIN95 sys the
Autoexec.bat and config.sys files are completely empty…as for the thought of
even considering using a memory manager with WIN95–what absurdity, the whole
concept of memory management as you know it from the DOS and WIN 3.1x is
moot…get you information from better sources…
