Precedence: bulk

As long as you dont need to load different drivers in your config.sys you
can use the CHIOCE command in your autoexec.bat as a resonable replacment.
As in my example below:

*CONFIG.SYS*
DEVICE=C:\OPENDOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS DPMI=ON FRAME=NONE /V /R=AUTO /XMSUMB
DEVICE=C:\OPENDOS\DPMS.EXE
DOS=HIGH,UMB

BREAK=OFF
BUFFERSHIGH=40
FILESHIGH=40
LASTDRIVE=Z
FCBSHIGH=4,4

DEVICEHIGH = C:\IOMEGA\ASPIPC16.SYS Info
DEVICE = C:\IOMEGA\SCSICFG.EXE /V 
DEVICEHIGH = C:\IOMEGA\SCSIDRVR.SYS      

*AUTOEXEC.BAT*
