[SD-User] Keying Speed

[lesel]

Hi All,
                    Booting into DOS does not seem
to work everytime, especially if using WIN 98.  A
fellow club mate, and myself cured a similar
problem by the following:-
Create a new shortcut to MS-DOS on the Desktop,
rename to 'SD'
(To do this, click 'Start' 'Programs', right-click
the MS-DOS shortcut, and click 'create new
shortcut', then drag this shortcut to the Desktop.
Rename by highlighting with single click then
press F2, or single click again after a short
pause.)
Right click the new Icon, click 'Properties',
Select the 'program' tab, amend 'Working' line to
read C:\SD. (or the name of the folder that you
have SD files in) then click 'Advanced'
Tick 'MS-DOS' box
Select 'Specify a new MS-DOS config.sys for MS-DOS
mode.'
Click in Config.sys box and add the lines:-
Device=C:\WINDOWS\Himem.sys
Device=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.exe RAM
Note the full stops, and space between 'exe &
'RAM'
Click 'OK'     twice.
When you double-click the new Icon, the computer
will close down and restart in MS-DOS mode.  To
get back to Windows, type 'exit' at the DOS
prompt.
Between 'SD' sessions, simply switch off with the
power switch, it will restart in DOS.
