FreeDOS help system (hhstndrd 1.0.8 en)[dosdata]

Command: dosdata

DOSDATA tries to load kernel data into Upper Memory Blocks. DOSDATA is a CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS command.

Syntax:

dosdata=umb

Options:

- none -

Comments:

DOSDATA tries to load kernel data into Upper Memory Blocks; effectively the same as using the "name"-HIGH variant of kernel parameters, such as fileshigh, lastdrivehigh, and stackshigh (does not effect drivers loaded using device= or install=). DOSDATA is a command internal to kernel.sys and needs no other file in order to work.

Examples:

IN CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS: dosdata=umb
