Subject: [ntdev] Re: More on IDE and build.bat, and Windows Mediocre
EditionCorrect, I don’t debug or test under Win98 or WinME. For that matter, I
never test drivers on the same machine I develop them on. Too much risk
of
blowing everything away with a kernel-mode error.
It isn’t so dangerous. I use one machine for NT/w2k/w9x driver developent
and testing about 5 years and never had a serious problem. It is a good idea
to use System Internals sync utility before every dangerous action. Also, it
is better to use NTFS, FAT is too fragile.
It won’t run under ME because there are
not enough files handles in DOS mode. CDoc requires 12, I believe, and ME
has less available.
From dark DOS ages I remember a small resident program named files.com
(exe?) which was able to extend file table up to 255 in runtime. It was used
for hungry databases when one didn’t want always install too much files in
config.sys. Try to search web for it, there is a chance it will still work
on wME. Or use the patch which enables config.sys for wME, link is in my
previous mail.
