Apparently there is a way to make PC-DOS 3.3 recognise DRIVPARM. I
have tried it and it seems to work. Whether it works on MS-DOS....
A typical DRIVPARM line would look like this:
DRIVPARM=parameters
Add three CONTROL-A characters after the = sign (that's ASCII code 1,
shown below as the character pair ^ followed by A).
DRIVPARM=^A^A^Aparameters
You may have to hunt for an editor that will do this, otherwise use
DEBUG.
No, I don't know why it works....but it seems to!
