Hello Trevor,

Most of your config.sys looks fine, but I have a couple of issues that
may help speed your system up.

TW> SWAPPATH=C:\OS2\SYSTEM 16384 8192

Try swapping the numbers. The *second* number is the initial swap file
size.

TW> DEVICE=C:\MMOS2\SBP2D2.SYS 1 1 5 220 4 /N:SBAUD1$

Here's my soundblasted entry:

DEVICE=E:\MMOS2\SB16D2.SYS /B:2 /C:1 /D:1 /H:5 /I:5 /A:220 /M:330
/N:SBAUD1$ /Q /P

The /B (buffers) reduces the buffer size and smooths performance lots.

TW> device=c:\os2\mdos\ansi.sys

Must you? Why not put this in DOS windows, so that it gets unloaded when
you're not running a VDM?

Chris
