Use the config.sys file to install more than one device driver. You can "install" device drivers by editing or creating a new config.sys file. To install ansi.sys for instance, try this: A>copy con: config.sys >>create a new config.sys file device=ansi.sys >>install ansi.sys ^Z >>throw in a DOS EOF A> >>back to the DOS prompt To install multiple drivers, just add another line to the config.sys file: A>copy con: config.sys >>create a new config.sys file device=ansi.sys >>install ansi.sys device=ramdrive.sys >>install a ramdisk driver named "ramdrive.sys" ^Z >>throw in a DOS EOF A> >>back to the DOS prompt note: all device drivers referenced in config.sys must be on the "boot" disk. Caution: I have played with some "installable" device drivers (i.e. STB's ramdisk driver) that MUST BE FIRST when called in config.sys. Another driver that also must be first is the Orchid Tech. Network driver for PCNET. You must also be careful that hard disk device drivers don't conflict with each other. You should also know that when you are loading any type of disk drivers the drives are assigned "names" in the order that they occur in config.sys. For example, the first hard disk driver in config.sys is usually assigned drive C:, the second is assigned drive D:, etc.... Good Luck, Charlie
