The DOS 3.0 manual explains lots of options and parameters, but I'm not sure what I should set them to. For instance: -- How many BUFFERS should I have? I have an AT with 640K and the 20 Meg harddisk, so my initial feeling is to set it to the maximum of 99. But, the manual says this might actually slow things down. What is a good setting for BUFFERS? -- Should BREAK be ON or OFF? I think I want to be able to stop runaway programs, but not if it makes the machine much slower. ALSO -- The March 11 (Feb. 11) PC Mag. mentions that one can easily speed-up an AT's Key-Repeat without a special program. Does any one know how to make this speed-up? Thanks for any help or discussion, Carl Kadie U. of Illinois
