I finally got everything to work (a Pioneer 6 tray CD ROM, Model
DRM-604X), an Adaptec PCMCIA SCSI adapter, an 80mb Ace Double-
Space+ PCMCIA SRAM card, on my IBM Thinkpad 755C 540mb system w/
Stacker 4.0 on both the 540mb device and on the 80mb PCMCIA card.
I am using IBM's Thinkpad 2.00 Utility Diskette (I ftp'ed the
files from the pcco ftp site). I am using the original PC DOS 6.3.
Afterwards, I used Qemm's 7.04 Quarterdeck to optimize RAM. My
exclude/Qemm line is as follows:
DEVICE=C:\Q\QEMM386.SYS RAM ST:M ARAM=C800-CFFF X=B800-BFFF RF
My windows setup says that I have:
MS-DOS SYSTEM W/APM
SVGA(WD90C24) 640x780 256 COLORS SMALL FONTS
But now, to my chagrin, I get this message when entering into
windows:
----------------------------------------------------------
Information
----------------------------------------------------------
! APM driver is not loaded to your system. This may
cause the suspend/resume problem of a mouse.
! Exit Windows and execute SETUP command under the
Windows directory. Then select 'MS-DOS System with
APM' of Computer item.
OK
But That is my setup! And my config.sys works just fine if I use
the same lines but instead use himem.sys and emm386.exe (but then
I have about 100k less base memory). I do load the POWER.EXE
program too. Here is my config.sys statements. Does anyone know
what I should do to fix this? Thanks!

P.S. I also hate the fact that the SRAMDRV2.SYS eats up 4
drive letters (I J K L) when I want it to just eat up drive
E: for my 80mb drive card (which oddly enough is what ends
up being used for the card, but when I load MSCDEX I end up
having to ask for 6 contiguous drive letters starting with
M:! -- prior to doing the MSCDEX, just typing STACKER shows
that drive letters A-L are eaten up although only A C D E
mean anything (A=floppy, C=stackerized 540mb, D=host drive
uncompressed for C, E=stackerized 4o-to-80 mb PCMCIA card).
Is there any way to control what drive letters get eaten up
by SRAMDRV2.SYS -- I know it is eating up I J K L because I
put a DEVICE=PAUSE.SYS (I got such a device driver from
Compuserve from a shareware program called LACE) and I could
see that it issued the message that it was using these 4 drive
letters. Thanks again!
