Re: How to Format a Plus Hard-Card
This is a response to R.J.Welsh's problem about the plus hard-card.
You should format the hard card using HFORMAT supplied with the card.
DOS format command will give different error mesages because IBM DOS
2.0 and 2.1 can not support more than 10MB disk. This part comes from
the hard card manual "To see if your IBM PC has new system BIOS ROM
(which recognizes a hard card) you may use the following method check
for a date 10/27/82 or later:
TYPE BASIC and press RETURN
10 DEF SEG=&HF000
20 FOR X=&HFFF5 TO &HFFFC
30 PRINT CHR$(PEEK(X));
40 NEXT
type RUN and press RETURN.
Good luck.
