CONFIG.SYS On The Tandy 1000 Computer |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: The Tandy 1000 series of computers have the CONFIG.SYS file stored on an EPROM chip. Users will receive the "Insufficient File Handles" error message until the CONFIG.SYS file is created on the C: drive. (Customers can run the Tandy SETUP utility to check the location of the CONFIG.SYS file.) To reset the computer so that this can be done, the user must first run the SETUPTL, SETUPSL, or SETUPHX program (depending on whether the computer is a Tandy 1000 TL, Tandy 1000 SL or Tandy 1000 HX). These SETUP* files are programs that are part of the Tandy 1000 configuration; on older computers like the Tandy 1000 TL the files are located on the DOS diskette received with the computer. On newer computers like the Tandy 1000-TL2, this file is on the GWBasic diskette. By typing SETUPTL, SETUPSL or SETUPHX at the C: prompt (or at the A: prompt if the disk is in the A: drive), a menu will appear that will allow them to specify the CONFIG.SYS as part of their system. On this menu one would move down to the maximum number of files with the down arrow key. To increase the number of files press the right arrow. To decrease the number of files press the left arrow. Press F1 to save the information on the EPROM chip and then reboot the machine. (After the setup has been run, the CONFIG.SYS file can be created as usual on the C: drive. Customers should exit out of DP and add the line FILES=40 to the CONFIG.SYS file.) In addition to the Tandy computers listed above that have "built-in" DOS, others have been released including the Tandy 1000-TL2, Tandy 1000-TL3, and the Tandy 1000-RLX. To run the Setup program for these, type the extension of the model number after the word "setup" (e.g., SETUPTL2, SETUPTL3 or SETUPRLX). With the Tandy-TL3, the customer should use the Space Bar instead of the Right Arrow to increase the number of files and buffers. To exit and update, the customer should press the F2 key instead of F1. If the customer gets the message, "Bad Command Or File Name," have them run the Setup program off of the MS-DOS disk or GWBasic disk that came with the computer. Note that not all Tandy computers have built-in DOS, so try the conventional solutions first. If the option for changing the maximum number of files that can be open is not sufficient, you may change the place where DOS looks for the CONFIG.SYS file. (The same goes for the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.) The typical choices are drive A:, drive C:, and None (in which case, DOS uses the setup shown on the screen). |
