For DOS 4.00:

 DEVICE=VDISK.SYS <disk size> <sector size> <directory entries> [/E:n | /X:n]
 Where:

    <disk size> = { x | 1Kb <= x <= <available memory> } (default = 64Kb)
    <sector size> = { x | x = 128, x = 256, x = 512 } (default = 128)
    <directory entries> = { x | 2 <= x <= 512 } (default = 64)

    /E:n - use *extended* memory, transferring n sectors at a time;
	n = { x | 1 <= x <= 8 } (default = 8)
    /X:n - use *expanded* memory, transferring n sectors at a time;
	n = { x | 1 <= x <= 8 } (default = 8)

 Example:

 For a 1Mb VDISK with 512 byte sectors and 256 directory entries using 
 extended memory:

    DEVICE=VDISK.SYS 1024 512 256 /E
