QUARANTINE TECHNICAL SUPPLEMENT
.
Quarantine is a high end product a.nd because of this it requires a lot of your system
QUARANTINE REQUIRES
386+, 530k free base memory and 4 meg XMS memory.
It is the XMS memory that is most important. Quarantine does not work with EMS.
DO NOT run EMM386 with Quarantine.
DO NOT run SMARTDRIVE with Quarantine.
DO NOT run ANY memory manager with Quarantine except HIMEM.SYS
To get Quarantine running, the best way, is to make a boot disk and experiment on that rather than your hard drive
To do this take a formatted disk and from the C: prompt type SYS A: This will copy the system files over. Now copy
over your AUTOEXEC.BAT 86 CONFIG.SYS files. Leave this disk in your A: Floppy drive when you boot up and it
will use that setup rather than your regular one.
Here is an example CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT that will work well with Quarantine.
CONFIG.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DOS=HIGH
STACKS=9,256
DO NOT INCLUDE ANY LINES FOR BUFFERS OR FILES (eg. BUFFERS = 20)
CD USERS INSERT YOUR CD DRIVERS HERE
THIS IS]USTAN EXAMPLE YOUR WILL BE DIFFERENT
DEVICEHIGH= C:\SBPRO\DRV\SBPCD. SYS/D:MSCD001/P.-220
Please note CD users that the path where your CD drivers are will vary hugely, so you should copy what is
in your existing config.sys. The example given is merely an example.
‘
AUTOEXEC.BAT
PATH C:\<Insert your path fiom your original system /1ere>
SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T4 REM ****This driver will vary from system to system
ALSO INSERTANY OTHER SOUIVD l)RIVERS HERE
C:\DOS\MSCDX.EXE/V/D:MSCD00l/M:ISREM OR IVIIAIEVER YOUR CD DRIVER LINE IS
By using these configurations you should be able to run Quarantine with no problems.90°/o of all running
problems are caused by people running EMM386 or SMARTDRIVE. You should rem out these and any
other TSR’s to run Quarantine. These TSR’s cause messages such as DIVIDE OVERFLOW or STACK
NOT FOUND. Do NOT PANIC the product is not damaged you just need to get rid of these programs.
CD USERS - If you select the FULL INSTALL option at any time during the game you can put in your
own music CD and listen to your own music! ]ust pop it in and press C to change tracks!
CD VIDEO - To play with the video on CD requires a VERY high end graphics card. If you run the
program and the video corrupts or jitters, your card does not support it. Run the game by typing “Q”
instead.
