Use of the best memory virtual disk software Xmsdsk

With the development of the Times, computer memory more and more, from the original 1M, 2M, 4M and other development to the present 128M, 256M, 512M, or even greater. Therefore, the rational allocation and use of memory is very important to avoid unnecessary waste. Moreover, memory and general external storage devices, such as the disk commonly used (including hard disk, CD-ROM, etc.), have many advantages, such as the speed of memory is very fast, usually dozens of times times faster than the latter; the capacity of the disk is limited, especially the floppy disk, The size of a floppy disk is generally 1.44M, so the startup disk often does not fit the required program. Therefore, if the memory can be used as a disk device to store files and data, it will undoubtedly greatly improve the speed, efficiency and convenience of the operation, but also allows the memory to play the most effective, that is, the efficient use of memory.

However, these programs have drawbacks, such as they need to be loaded in the Config.sys file, not loaded directly on the DOS command line, cannot be resized or deleted once loaded, memory disks are limited in size, typically not more than 64M, and they themselves consume more conventional memory. Now, finally, someone has issued a memory virtual disk program that solves all of the above problems, which is the Xmsdsk (which you can download in Disk utility).


Xmsdsk is a newer program, and quite powerful, practical and stable. It is a FURD memory toolkit, so the name incredible, is the use of XMS memory to create a disk. Therefore, it must be in the case of XMS memory to use, usually just load the DOS Himem.sys program (if it is MS-DOS, it is best to use version 7.10 or more, so that Himem.sys support more than 64M of XMS memory), and then you can use it freely. Xmsdsk's benefits are too much, such as in addition to loading in the Config.sys, you can dynamically adjust the size or disassembly of the memory disk indefinitely in the command line mode. It consumes a very small amount of memory, only hundreds of bytes of low-end memory, and can automatically be transferred to the UMB (upper memory block) without the need for LH command. It supports great memory (currently up to 2G), so for example 11545.html "> We have 512M of memory, and even all XMS memory can be virtual to disk." If you use it in a Startup disk, you can add a lot of color to the startup disk. It also has a very useful use, because some software, such as some game software (such as the Paladin), and so on, can only operate in the 32M of memory, then you can use Xmsdsk to install the memory disk so that the free XMS memory less than 32M, so that the software can run normally. Most importantly, it's very simple to use, and here's how it's actually used.

The use syntax for Xmsdsk is as follows:
Xmsdsk [memory disk size] [drive] [options]

    where the memory disk size is expressed in kilobytes, for example, 4 means that 4k,1024 means 1024k=1m, and so on, and if not specified, a 0K memory disk is created. The drive represents the drive letter of the memory disk that you want to specify, and if not, it automatically uses the next drive letter. For example, if the current drive has only a, B, C, and D, the memory disk is automatically loaded onto E disk. The options are as follows:
   /?: View command line help;
    y: When performing an action, you do not have to confirm, which is the default is yes;
    /u: Remove the memory disk and exit memory.
   /T: Set the memory disk at the top of the XMS memory;
   /C: Specifies the cluster size of the sectors in the memory disk.
    typically uses only its Y and/u options.
    When you run Xmsdsk with a method without any parameters and options, that is, when you enter the Xmsdsk command directly, if Xmsdsk is currently loaded, you are prompted to load it, otherwise it automatically displays the state information of the loaded memory disk. such as the size of the memory disk.
    below to give an example of the use of Xmsdsk. For example, now you want to build a 5M memory disk, then adjust to 10M, and finally remove the memory disk to release the drive letter and the memory used, and when installing, adjusting, and deleting without confirmation, you can enter the following command in the DOS command line:
