Config.sys file Question

Question

Does anything look out of place in my config.sys file?

REM [Header]

REM [CD-ROM Drive]
REM DEVICE=C:\CDROM\GSCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD001 /PIO

REM [Miscellaneous]

REM [Display]

DEVICEHIGH=c:\windows\setver.exe
DEVICE = C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE = C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS
DOS = HIGH,UMB

Why I ask is, today, while creating my zip rescue disks, I got a message saying 'ASPIATAP in config.sys requires MS-DOS compatiblity mode', and something else about a real mode driver.

Does anyone have an idea what this means? I have no clue.

Thanks for the help!

Your config.sys file looks just fine. However, there apparently is an issue with your Zip drive. I don't have one, but the information here may be of use to you.
