Return to The Config.sys Documentation Project Main Page

Device Drivers are needed by OS/2 to work with your installed hardware. The Device Drivers are loaded after the Base Device Drivers Unlike the Base Device Drivers, the Device Drivers are loaded in the order they appear in the config.sys file. The following pages describe these entries:

DEVICE=ANSI.sys

This driver installs the ANSI support for DOS windows. 

  DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\ANSI.SYS [parameters]
