Computer mouse

A computer mouse (plural mice, also mouses) is a hand-held pointing device that detects two-dimensional motion relative to a surface.

See LOADHIGH and Computer mouse

CONFIG.SYS

CONFIG.SYS is the primary configuration file for the DOS and OS/2 operating systems.

See LOADHIGH and CONFIG.SYS

Conventional memory

In DOS memory management, conventional memory, also called base memory, is the first 640 kilobytes of the memory on IBM PC or compatible systems. LOADHIGH and conventional memory are DOS memory management.

See LOADHIGH and Conventional memory

Device driver

In the context of an operating system, a device driver is a computer program that operates or controls a particular type of device that is attached to a computer or automaton.

See LOADHIGH and Device driver

Digital Research

Digital Research, Inc. (DR or DRI) was a privately held American software company created by Gary Kildall to market and develop his CP/M operating system and related 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit systems like MP/M, Concurrent DOS, FlexOS, Multiuser DOS, DOS Plus, DR DOS and GEM.

See LOADHIGH and Digital Research

DOS

DOS is a family of disk-based operating systems for IBM PC compatible computers.

See LOADHIGH and DOS

DOS extender

A DOS extender is a computer software program running under DOS that enables software to run in a protected mode environment even though the host operating system is only capable of operating in real mode.

See LOADHIGH and DOS extender

DR-DOS

DR-DOS (written as DR DOS, without a hyphen, in versions up to and including 6.0) is a disk operating system for IBM PC compatibles.

See LOADHIGH and DR-DOS

Expanded memory

In DOS memory management, expanded memory is a system of bank switching that provided additional memory to DOS programs beyond the limit of conventional memory (640 KiB). LOADHIGH and expanded memory are DOS memory management.

See LOADHIGH and Expanded memory

Extended memory

In DOS memory management, extended memory refers to memory above the first megabyte (220 bytes) of address space in an IBM PC or compatible with an 80286 or later processor. LOADHIGH and extended memory are DOS memory management.

See LOADHIGH and Extended memory

IBM

International Business Machines Corporation (using the trademark IBM), nicknamed Big Blue, is an American multinational technology company headquartered in Armonk, New York and present in over 175 countries.

See LOADHIGH and IBM

IBM Personal Computer

The IBM Personal Computer (model 5150, commonly known as the IBM PC) is the first microcomputer released in the IBM PC model line and the basis for the IBM PC compatible ''de facto'' standard.

See LOADHIGH and IBM Personal Computer

Protected mode

In computing, protected mode, also called protected virtual address mode, is an operational mode of x86-compatible central processing units (CPUs).

See LOADHIGH and Protected mode

Self-relocation

In computer programming, a self-relocating program is a program that relocates its own address-dependent instructions and data when run, and is therefore capable of being loaded into memory at any address.

See LOADHIGH and Self-relocation

SmartDrive

SmartDrive (or SMARTDRV) is a disk caching program shipped with MS-DOS versions 4.01 through 6.22 and Windows 3.0 through Windows 3.11.

See LOADHIGH and SmartDrive

Terminate-and-stay-resident program

A terminate-and-stay-resident program (commonly TSR) is a computer program running under DOS that uses a system call to return control to DOS as though it has finished, but remains in computer memory so it can be reactivated later. LOADHIGH and terminate-and-stay-resident program are DOS memory management.

See LOADHIGH and Terminate-and-stay-resident program

Upper memory area

In DOS memory management, the upper memory area (UMA) is the memory between the addresses of 640 KB and 1024 KB (0xA0000–0xFFFFF) in an IBM PC or compatible. LOADHIGH and upper memory area are DOS memory management.

See LOADHIGH and Upper memory area

Virtual DOS machine

Virtual DOS machines (VDM) refer to a technology that allows running 16-bit/32-bit DOS and 16-bit Windows programs when there is already another operating system running and controlling the hardware.

See LOADHIGH and Virtual DOS machine
