Command: lastdrive / lastdrivehigh

  LASTDRIVE / LASTDRIVEHIGH sets the last letter to which a drive can be
  assigned. LASTDRIVE / LASTDRIVEHIGH is a CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS
  command.

Syntax:

  lastdrive=x
  lastdrivehigh=x
    where x is the last drive letter that will be available.

Options:

  - none -

Comments:

  By default, FreeDOS will set x high enough for all floppy drives and
  detectable hard drive partitions, plus one for a CD or other drive.
  You may want to set x higher if you wish to use more than one drive
  that FreeDOS cannot detect automatically (CD drives, zip drives etc.).
  Setting x higher than necessary wastes a small amount of memory.
  LASTDRIVEHIGH is like LASTDRIVE, except it attempts to load into high
  memory first (failing that it should load in conventional memory).
  Note: The order you load devices may have a large impact on amount
  of free memory available. In general try to load large (in memory
  usage) programs into high memory first.
  Important: You should have a high memory manager such as HIMEMX,
  JEMM386 or JEMMEX installed when using this option.
  LASTDRIVE / LASTDRIVEHIGH is a command internal to kernel.sys and needs
  no other file in order to work.

Examples:

  IN CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS:
    COUNTRY=049,858,C:\FREEDOS\BIN\country.sys (german setting)
    LASTDRIVE=Z (enables drive letters from A - Z) OR:
    LASTDRIVEHIGH=W enables drive letters from A - W)
    BUFFERS=20
    FILES=40
    DOS=HIGH
    DOS=UMB
    DOSDATA=UMB
    DEVICE=C:\FREEDOS\BIN\himemx.exe (or jemm386.exe or jemmex.exe)
