You mean how to get the active drive ?

Code: Select all

   rem :: Get Boot Drive
   rem ::
   rem ::OUTPUT:
   rem :: @Drive.Boot    BYVAL    Return;    Where @Drive.Boot = '[A-Z]:'
   rem ::
   rem ::(
      >"%Drive.RAM%\DRVStBt.BAT" "%Drive.RAM%\DRVGTACT.EXE"
   rem    ::
      call "%Drive.RAM%\DRVStBt.BAT"
   rem    ::
      set Drive.Boot=%drive%
      set drive=
   rem ::)

This program will not run from config.sys though, but you should avoid loading devices from config.sys anyways.

Code: Select all

DOS=HIGH,UMB

Files=40
Buffers=30
Stacks=0,0

set Drive.RAM=X:
set Drive.CD=T:
set Drive.Server=Y:

install=SHSURDRV.EXE 8192k,D480,X: /Q
install=TUNZ.COM -o BOOT.ZIP X:\

SHELL=X:\COMMAND.COM /E:4096 /P

example: load device driver from autoexec

Code: Select all

   "%Drive.RAM%\SHOWMENU.EXE" Analizing UDMA settings
   rem ::(
      If not ["%UDMA%"] == ["1"] goto AUDMASD ()

      echo.Loading UltraDMA hard-disk driver
   rem    ::(
         "%Drive.RAM%\DEVLOAD.COM" UDMA.SYS
   rem    ::)

      :AUDMASD ()
   rem ::)

By the way, there are much better ways for getting access to high and upper memory more efficiently than the outdated emms and himem.
