   Using Digital (.WAV) Audio with DOS 6.0's DoubleSpace*
   ======================================================

   The DoubleSpace utility included with DOS 6.0 can cause problems
   if you attempt to play or record "high data rate" (i.e.: stereo/
   44.1kHz/16-bit) digital audio to or from a compressed disk. In
   DOSDAT or WinDAT, the symptom will be a "Disk Could Not Keep Up
   With Digital Audio" error message, or in some cases the program
   may even crash. 

   Therefore, if you anticipate that you will be playing or recording
   a lot of stereo/44.1kHz/16-bit digital audio, you should set up a
   non-compressed drive partition and configure both DOSDAT and WinDAT
   to use this drive as their Work and Temp directories. In both
   programs this is done from the Setup window. 

   For information on setting up a non-compressed partition for your
   hard drive, refer to your DOS 6.0 Users Guide. 

   *The same procedure should be followed if you are using Stacker, a
   third-party disk compression utility.

   Notes About Using EMM386.EXE
   ============================

   When running applications with EMM386.EXE installed, the following
   error message may appear:

      "EMM386 DMA buffer is too small"

   You can overcome this problem in two ways:

      - remove the EMM386.EXE entry from the CONFIG.SYS file

      OR

      - add the following parameter to the EMM386.EXE entry in the
        CONFIG.SYS file:

           D=64

           where D specifies how many kilobytes of memory should be
           reserved for buffered Direct Memory Access (DMA).

        An example of this may be:

           C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE D=64
