Using the MultiLink Advanced ALL Card Driver
To use MultiLink Advanced with the ALL Card's Memory Management
Unit (MMU) to full advantage, you need two pieces of software:
MLDRIVER.SYS and MLSIZE.COM.
MLDRIVER is the device driver (invoked in your CONFIG.SYS file)
which allows MultiLink to take advantage of the ALL Card's
extended memory.
To use the driver, put the following commands in your CONFIG.SYS
file:
DEVICE=ALLMOS.SYS
DEVICE=MLDRIVER.SYS
The invocation of MLDRIVER must come after the invocation for
ALLMOS.
The MLSIZE command changes the size of the foreground partition.
MLSIZE must be executed before the MLINK command is executed.
The format of the command is as follows:
MLSIZE [NNNk]
where NNN is the desired size of the foreground partition in k-
bytes. The default size is 704k, which is the largest foreground
partition that MultiLink will support.
Background partitions may be as large as 570k, although, the
actual size depends on the amount of memory used by resident
programs before the MLINK command is executed. You may have to
experiment to find the largest possible background partition
under your particular configuration.
Example:
Hardware: PC with 640k main memory, 1 megabyte extended
memory on an ALL Card.
CONFIG.SYS file:
FILES=20
BUFFERS=20
DEVICE=ALLMOS.SYS
DEVICE=ALLEMM.SYS
DEVICE=MLDRIVER.SYS
At the DOS prompt type:
MLSIZE 320k
MLSLICE
MLINK /9,512,/9,512
This gives a forground partition of 320k, and two background
partitions, each with 512k of memory. In addition a further
320k of memory is available for use by programs which use
the LOTUS/INTEL Memory Manager (ALLEMM).
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The standard ALL-MOS command, ALLSIZE may not be used with
MultiLink. MLSIZE may be used only BEFORE the MLINK command is
executed.
