Local=<device-name>

Default:        None (In a standard SYSTEM.INI file, Setup will set
                Local=CON. See "Purpose.")

Purpose:        Defines MS-DOS device drivers that need to be local to each
                virtual machine. The  value must exactly match
                the case of the device name, or this setting will not work.
                (Most device names are in all captial letters, therefore
                this value must usually be in all caps.) If a device driver
                is local, a separate copy of it will exist in each virtual
                machine, and each will keep different state information.
                Most device drivers will not function properly when this
                setting is used. An exception is CON, the DOS console
                device, which should be local to avoid filling a buffer
                with input from multiple virtual machines.

To Change:      Use Notepad to edit the SYSTEM.INI file.
