Command: stacks
STACKS adds stacks to handle hardware interrupts.
STACKS is a CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS command.
Syntax:
stacks=nn,mmm
Options:
nn The number of stacks in the range 8-64 and 0.
mmm The size of each stack, in bytes, in the range 32-512.
Comments:
This command is not needed on standard installations.
STACKS changes number and size of hardware interrupt stacks available.
nn is number of different stacks and mmm is size in bytes of each one.
In some cases you can use "stacks=0,0" to use only standard stacks
instead of letting DOS allocate extra stacks for hardware interrupts.
STACKS is a command internal to kernel.sys and needs no other file
in order to work.
Examples:
IN CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS:
stacks=16,256
