Those files should be on the startup disk already. &nbsp;You also want HIMEM.SYS on the floppy as well.<br />
Include it in the config.sys file as the first statement.<br />
For example:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;DEVICE=&lt;Driver name&gt;.SYS /D:&lt;Any up-to-8-character name&gt;<br />
<br />
Let us know if you need more.<br />
