Both the shareware and the commercial versions of VSMC Ί°°± ±±±Ί now utilize 386+ assembly (however, a 286 version is still avail- Ί°°± ±±±Ί able for special request). VSMC requires 550K of free conventional Ί°°± ±±±Ί memory, but may use up to 2MB of extended memory if it is present Ί°°± ±±±Ί for use as a demand page buffer (for greatly improved performance). Ί°°± ±±±Ί Ί°°± ±±±Ί The commercial version of VSMC utilizes a proprietary VSMC O/S. Ί°°± ±±±Ί This operating system (along with VSMC) is stored entirely on disk, Ί°°± ±±±Ί and does not require any special programs or device drivers to be Ί°°± ±±±Ί loaded onto your harddrive. However, to properly work on your Ί°°± ±±±Ί system, VSMC O/S requires some drivers of its own. VSMC currently Ί°°± ±±±Ί is shipped with support for DOS partitions. If, however, you wish Ί°°± ±±±Ί to add support for your CD-ROM or ZIP drive, you can download Ί°°± ±±±Ί specialized drivers from the VSMC WWW site (These drivers, like Ί°°± ±±±Ί the VSMC O/S, will be stored on the VSMC disk). If the drivers for Ί°°± ±±±Ί your storage device are not available for downloading, you can send Ί°°± ±±±Ί email to The Brain, and the required patch file will be placed on Ί°°± ±±±Ί the VSMC WWW page, or emailed to you directly. Ί°°± ±±±Ί Ί°°± ±±±Ί (Note! Users of NTFS will soon be able to access their NTFS Ί°°± ±±±Ί partitions under VSMC. However, it is not a high-priority at this Ί°°± ±±±Ί time.) Ί°°± ±±±Ί Ί°°± ±±±Ί VSMC comes with a Logitech mouse driver. This driver has been found Ί°°± ±±±Ί to work with many mice, including popular brands such as Microsoft, Ί°°± ±±±Ί and the less popular brands, such as Champ. If your mouse does not Ί°°± ±±±Ί work with the Logitech driver, a different driver can be obtained Ί°°± ±±±Ί from the support site. Ί°°± ±±±Ί Ί°°± ±±±Ί Because the entire operating system is located on the VSMC disk Ί°°± ±±±Ί (not your harddrive) your system must be configured to boot from Ί°°± ±±±Ί your 3«" disk drive. If this is not the case, you can either forget Ί°°± ±±±Ί about VSMC, or swap the drives from your CMOS configuration (on Ί°°± ±±±Ί some new BIOSes), or swap the physical connections to your A and B Ί°°± ±±±Ί drives. (5¬" disk support may be available if I get enough requests Ί°°± ±±±Ί for such a thing) Ί°°± ±±±Ί Ί°°± ±±±Ί The VSMC disk is copyprotected. Neither software nor hardware disk Ί°°± ±±±Ί duplicators will be able to successfully copy the commercial VSMC Ί°°± ±±±Ί diskette (and that includes even the best raw-copy utilities). Any Ί°°± ±±±Ί and all attempts to illegally duplicate VSMC will be dealt with, Ί°°± ±±±Ί as VSMC is protected by the U.S.C.A and the Berne International Ί°°± ±±±Ί copyright acts and laws.

(All payments should be made payable to 'Digital Data Systems') NOTE! VSMC comes (by default) with EMS support. If you do not have EMS, you can disable it from 'Emulation Options'. This, however, currently presents problems for some users (aside from the massive speed drop). Therefore, it is, at the present time, recommended that people without at least 2MB RAM refrain from purchasing VSMC until this problem has been rectified.
