Important Notice
The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.
Device Drivers
                               Device Drivers
 
The following installable device drivers are provided with MS-DOS:
 
<ANSI.SYS>                <HIMEM.SYS>
<CHKSTATE.SYS>            <INTERLNK.EXE>
<DISPLAY.SYS>             <POWER.EXE>
<DRIVER.SYS>              <RAMDRIVE.SYS>
<DRVSPACE.SYS>            <SETVER.EXE>
<EGA.SYS>                 <SMARTDRV.EXE>
<EMM386.EXE>
 
The files COUNTRY.SYS and KEYBOARD.SYS are not device drivers. They are data
files for the COUNTRY and KEYB commands, respectively. Do not try to load
either of these files with the DEVICE command. If you do, your system halts,
and you cannot restart MS-DOS. For information about loading COUNTRY.SYS,
see the <COUNTRY> command. For information about loading KEYBOARD.SYS, see
the <KEYB> command.
