DEVICE=GWDTA.SYS

Parameters
The following parameters are accepted by the DTA support driver GWDTA.SYS on the load line in the CONFIG.SYS.


 * /Q
 * Load quietly

/B:N
 * Range: 2>n>16
 * Set default requestor buffer number

'''/S:M ''': Range: 1024>m>16384
 * Set default requestor buffer size

/P: 
 * Range : PDDNAME<8chrs
 * Add an audio PDD to the DTA that is not specified in MMPM/2. Up to five different /P: may be specified, and they will appear before the MMPM/2 devices in the order specified. Duplicates will be ignored but their presence will be flagged│

to the user. If the PDD does not exist the name will be retained but it will be marked invalid.


 * Note that VGENAUD.SYS uses the first valid PDD in the list harvested by GWDTA, unless a different name is specified on the VDD command line (see VDD: VGENAUD.SYS). For most uses where it is desired to use the primary MMOS/2 soundcard for WinOS/2, this option can be ignored.


 * /N
 * Do not scan MMPM/2 for devices - only use those specified on the command line. This option is not normally required.
